Instructions for Chapter-Only Members Who are First-Time Users of This System

1. Go to the MLA site and click Join.
2. On the Join page, select Chapter Member Only (near the bottom of the page), then click Continue. (If you wish to join as a national member, click another category instead, and later you will be given the option to also select a chapter.)
3. On the next few pages (scrolling down, and clicking Continue as needed), create a username, select your desired chapter membership, and finish your user profile. Remember the login for future use.
4. On the final page, confirm membership type, rate, add any donations, select a chapter (if you were joining at the national level), finish payment information, and Submit.
5. This will set up your user profile AND it will enroll you as a chapter member. Next year, use the instructions to the right.

Instructions for Those Who Have an MLA Site Profile
(for MLA members and chapter-only members who previously created logins)

You have two options. (Either way, you will be asked to log into your existing user profile first. Please do not create a new profile!)

1. Pay for MLA and SEMLA memberships in one transaction. (You can also renew a chapter-only membership here. Just select MLA “non-member,” plus the chapter.)
2. Pay for a SEMLA membership alone (separately from your national MLA membership, or without any national membership).

Contact the MLA Business Office if you have questions or if you forgot your password. Please do not create a new profile if you already have one!
