Membership in the IBM Academic Initiative is free and open to individual faculty members and research professionals at accredited institutions of learning and to qualifying members of standards organizations. Membership lasts for one year but you can continually extend it by submitting a renewal form
and telling us about your use of IBM software or educational materials. We will contact you twice a year for this
information.
Becoming a member of the Academic Initiative requires the following two steps. Be sure to complete both of them.
:
Step 1: Register for a universal IBM ID and password.
You will use this ID and password each time you want to access the benefits of the Academic Initiative that are only available to program members. You can also use it to access downloads, tutorials, webcasts, and similar resources at other IBM web sites.
If you already have a universal IBM ID and password, go directly to Step 2.
Step 2: Apply for an Academic Initiative membership.
You already have a universal IBM ID and password.
Now you just need to complete the membership application and accept the terms of our Program Agreement.
This application will provide us with information about you, your institution, and the courses you teach or the standards work you are doing.
