Membership Renewal Policy
Membership renewals extend the expiration date of your most recent membership if within a five month window of that last expiration date. Any missed publications during this period will be sent to a provided address or, in the case of online access, an extended access period will be provided through JSTOR. Anything beyond a five month window of the last expiration date will be reviewed with the member or treated as a "new" membership. Questions about our policy can be sent to asormemb@bu.edu.
