This is an optional step if you already know about UPD. We recommend liking our Facebook page though to keep up-to-date on everything UPD!
The screenshot of your MyCSULB GPA must not be edited. To access it, log-in to MyCSULB > "Student Center" > "My Academics" > Take a screenshot of the blue area, including "Overall GPA."
Pledge class dues can be paid to any 2016-2017 UPD Executive Board Member (check our page to see who is on our board). Ensure you obtain a receipt after payment.
What is an Inducted (Active) Member?
After paying your $45 lifetime membership dues, you will be considered an Inducted Member ("Inductee"). You cannot apply to become an Inductee: this status is awarded by invitation only after you complete all of your membership requirements, or you have paid the $45 Lifetime Membership fee. Inductees are no longer called Pledges, and they are Inductees for life. No membership dues are required for Inductees.
This lifetime membership package is only available to the students who are eligible to become a UPD Pledge. Students are eligible to become a Pledge if they have: 1) completed at least 2 semesters/quarters; 2) a degree goal in Health Care Administration; and 3) a minimum Overall GPA requirement of 3.25 (for undergraduates) or 3.50 (for graduates). Note that only Overall GPA counts towards meeting this requirement, per the national standards set for all UPD chapters. The Pledge status is given after filling out the UPD Pledge Class Application. Once you are accepted you will now have the option to pay the $ 45-lifetime UPD membership.
*As a bonus, this membership will include the 'Graduation Package.' This package will include: a UPD tassel, badge, and cord!
