Membership for Allied Organizations

Allied organizations are those organizations closely associated with the University that support specific aspects of the University’s programs and those governmental/professional and technical organizations or agencies whose activities contribute directly to the University’s programs.

Allied organizations are determined by the University’s Office of Public Engagement. View a complete list of allied organizations.

By presenting a valid UIUC Allied Organization Staff Identification card in conjunction with a photo identification, an Allied Organization staff member can purchase a membership at faculty/staff rate.
