You are automatically a member of ASSEP if you belong to one of the following accreditation units: lecturers, teaching assistants and person in charge of practical works, post-doctoral researcher. However, to be a member in good standing, you need to have signed the PSAC membership form.
Becoming a member in good standing is as easy as filling out the PSAC form!
To be a member in good standing, all you need to do is sign your PSAC membership card! This signature is automatic when the contract is signed for teaching assistants and persons in charge of practical works, but not for other units.
When in doubt, don’t hesitate to contact us to check your status: assepinformation@gmail.com
Being a member in good standing gives you access to all the benefits offered by the union, whether ASSEP or PSAC. Plus, you help show that the union is representative of its members. And it’s completely free!
