Can I join Accounting Club?

 

Absolutely! Membership is open to both undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. All majors are welcome. 

​

Are there any interviews or essays required to join Accounting Club?

 

No! Accounting Club aims to give members easy access to firms that are looking to hire accounting and related majors at the lowest barrier to entry possible. Accounting Club is a no-cut club that does not have any interview process or essay writing needed to join. To join, students must pay dues, according to their membership status, and fill out our membership form to become a member.

​ 

Can I join after the dues deadline?

 

Yes, but we encourage members to join before the dues deadline as there is a $5 late fee in addition to your membership status dues, but members are always welcome to join after the deadline. The process to join is the same as before the dues deadline although we encourage you to email president.accyclub@gmail.com so that we are able to add you to our channels & newsletter.

​

How can I pay dues?

​​

We accept dues through Paypal (@uiucaccyclub) and cash. Since we are past the dues deadline this semester, there is an additional $5 late fee. If you would like to pay in cash, email @president.accyclub@gmail.com to schedule a time to meet. Make sure to add your full name and university email in the payment description as it appears on the membership form if paying through Paypal or give your full name and university email to whoever you are paying cash dues to.​

​

How can I learn more about Accounting Club before joining?

​​

We encourage you to visit our booths at Quad Day and Business Quad Day to speak with Exec members to learn more about the club at the start of each semester. Filling out our interest form will put you on our mailing list until our dues deadline where you will be removed if you do not pay dues. We also encourage you to follow our Instagram (@uiucaccyclub) and explore this website to see the kinds of events we hold.

​

When are Info Nights and why should I attend?

 

Our Info Nights will be on August 27th with KPMG in the Architecture Building Room 120 and August 28th with Caterpillar in the Architecture Building Room 120 from 6-8PM both nights. Attendance at Info Night is recommended but in no way required to join the club. All new and returning members are encouraged to attend an Info Night to learn more about the club, hear from accounting firm representatives, and learn about any new changes and opportunities. All members in attendance will receive a professional point each night. 

 

What should I do if I’m interested in joining Accounting Club but cannot attend an Information Night?

 

At the beginning of the semester, we will publish the link to the Interest Form on our website. Please complete this form to ensure you receive our emails regarding details on how to join. As mentioned above, Info Night attendance is not required to join the club. 

​​

How will I be notified about Accounting Club events?

 

Once you have joined the club, you will receive a weekly newsletter on Sunday nights detailing our events for the week as well as the date, time, dress code, and a short description of the event. This information will also be sent on our Slack channel. Additionally, our Instagram will post event reminders and members will have access to a Google Calendar with Accounting Club events to add to their calendar.

​

How can I keep track of my membership points?

 

At the end of every Accounting Club event, there will be a check-in form to fill out where you can write your name and email to ensure you receive a point for your attendance. Members who leave an event before it finishes will not receive an attendance point for the event. Your points will be added to the membership spreadsheet within a week of the event, and you can contact membership.accyclub@gmail.com if you see any discrepancies with your points.
