Memberships Policy

All memberships must be approved by the appropriate Dean, Director of Athletics, or Vice President or designee:

  • Memberships should be reviewed to determine whether an institutional membership is currently held by UNLV.
  • State accounts may not be used for individual memberships.
  • Due to the diminishing level of return to the university, consider the following guidelines:
    • Total number of organization memberships for an individual.
    • University funds are not authorized for too many individual memberships to the same organization or if an institutional membership should be purchased to more prudently provide for institutional representation.

Under the auspices of the Vice President for Business affairs, a list of UNLV participation in institutional memberships is maintained by the Financial Planning, Budget & Analysis Department (FPB&A). Institutional memberships may be charged to a central account maintained by FPB&A. To determine if a membership is already active or may be included in the active accounts, contact FPB&A at fpba@unlv.edu.
