ACUHO-I Affliation

The Association of College and University Housing Officers-International recognizes the regional associations as interdependent, independent, and separate associations. It is at the discretion of each region to determine their affiliation with ACUHO-I.

ACUHO-I promotes cooperation among the international Association, its Central Office, and the regional associations:

Since ACUHO-I and a region would benefit from formal affiliation, we believe that affiliation should not be connected with dues. It is understood no out-of-pocket cost would be passed on to the Regions. In other words, there are no hidden costs.
