Updates to Complimentary Membership for ITP Students

At the April 12, 2025 NCRID Board meeting, the Board decided to adjust our long-standing practice of offering ITP students a complimentary membership to NCRID.

Previously, we offered ITP students the chance to become Student members of NCRID during their senior year. We have updated this practice, now offering complimentary Non-Voting membership during the membership year following graduation from an ITP. This remains an excellent benefit to newer interpreters during the crucial transition from their ITP program to the professional world.

ITP graduates should email ncridmembership@gmail.com with a copy of their degree from an ITP. From there, those graduates will receive instruction on how to redeem their complimentary membership. We grant one year of non-voting membership per graduate, and our membership year runs from July 1–June 30. Fall graduates may immediately begin their complimentary membership during a membership year, or may wait until the following July to get a full year’s membership. Email ncridmembership@gmail.com with questions.
