ASCE Member Subscription Policy

As a membership benefit, ASCE permits members to purchase ASCE journals for their personal, noncommercial use at a substantially reduced rate. This reduced rate is offered to individual members only and is not available to non-members, libraries, reading rooms (both corporate and academic) or institutions. If in its sole discretion, ASCE determines that a subscriber is purchasing subscriptions for non-personal, commercial, or other unauthorized purposes, ASCE may revoke all current subscriptions and prohibit the purchaser from any future purchases at the member rate.

The following member grades may purchase ASCE Journals at member rates. Member and Associate Members are eligible to purchase up to 10 journals and Affiliate Members up to 5 journals at the discounted member rate. There is no limit on the number of ASCE Journals that Distinguished/Honorary Members and Fellows may purchase at the member rate. Student Members are not eligible for a discounted member rate. ASCE members may choose to purchase additional journals at the non-discounted price.
