How Membership Works

 

There are two types of members in Beta Alpha Psi, Candidate (Student) Members and Full Members. Students who first join Beta Alpha Psi will be Candidate Members, and then will have opportunities to become a Full Member as they progress throughout their degree.

Candidate membership applications are open at the start of each semester, and are open to accounting, finance, and information systems students in their second semester or above. In order to get in, you'll need a GPA of at least 6.0 (B+). Additionally, you must meet the following requirements:

  • If you study accounting, at least a B+ in both BUSINESS 114/ACCTG101 and ACCTG 102,

  • If you study finance, at least a B+ in both BUSINESS 114/ACCTG101and MATHS 108,

  • If you study information systems, at least a B+ in both BUSINESS 114/ACCTG101 and INFOSYS 110.

To apply, fill out the following form and we’ll be in touch.

Alternatively, if you’re keen to join but haven’t met the GPA requirements, we’re happy to accept applications. Simply email a short letter to membership.bap.auckland@gmail.com with why you’re looking to join BAP, and we’ll be in touch.

Once accepted, you will need to pay the one off membership payment of $80.00 to the BAP Bank Account. You will be provided with these details once your application is accepted.

Full membership is acquired by continuing on with getting great grades (maintaining a B+ average) and attending at least 6 professional events and 2 service events within three semesters (Candidate Period). You will also need to attend our Initiation Ceremony at the end of the semester.
