What is MyISA?

MyISA is a website from the International Studies Association that allows you to interface with our organization more easily. Here you can manage your membership information, your mailing address and profile, conference registrations and more.

How much does MyISA cost?

MyISA accounts are free! Once you have an account, you may choose to purchase ISA services therein, but these are always optional.

How do I create an account?

Creating an account is easy. Go to our registration page and follow the instructions on the screen. Note that if you are a current ISA member, or have ever had a previous membership, then you will want to register using your existing member ID. If you do not know your member ID, please use our lookup tool to have it emailed to you or contact ISA. This prevents you from getting two accounts in our system by accident and will give you imediate access to your eligible services.

How do I cancel a membership?

To cancel a membership you HAVE NOT paid for, go to "My Membership" - > "Membership History". You will see your memberships listed. Click on any of these and you will see the details for the membership. If you have not paid for the membership, or any given membership item (such as a section), you will see the option there to cancel the membership. This will remove the item from your account. You cannot cancel memberships you have paid for through MyISA. Please contact ISA directly if you are interested in a refund.

How do I submit a proposal?

Proposals are accepted only during the times specified by ISA and the program chairs. To submit a proposal, click on "Conferences" and then select the conference you would like to submit to. You will see a "My Submissions" link on the right side of the page - click this to access the submissions area.

How do I view the program?

The program is only accessible after it is made public by the program chairs. To access it, click on "Conferences" and then select the conference you would like to view. You will see a "View Program" link on the right side of the page - click this to access the submissions area.

What is "My Program"?

My Program is a special system that helps you identify panels you don't want to miss at the conference. You can search the full program online, find pieces that interest you and then add them to your program. MyISA will record your preferences and allow you to print a personalized program that shows by date all of the panels you wanted to see.

Where is the "Student Member" registration option?

MyISA distinguishes between registration types based on your current active membership. You will only see "member" options if you will have an active membership at the time of the conference. The "Student Member" option is only available to those who will have an active student membership. Many students choose "non-student" membership types for a variety of reasons - unfortunately, student member registration discounts are not available under the standard membership types.

How can I see my account balance?

Your account balance is shown on the "Charges and Payments" page. This is under the "My Account" link above.

I added an item to my account that I don't want? Can I delete it?

You can remove items that you have not yet paid for, but this is done in the area you added the item. For example, if you accidently added a section to a membership and you do not want that section, go to "My Membership" -> "Membership History". You will see the membership listed. Click on the membership and you can cancel the full membership, or just remove the section you don't want. This will remove the item from your bill. Note that once you have paid for an item, you cannot remove it. For refunds, contact ISA.

I paid for an item I do not want. Can I get a refund?

Refunds are not possible through MyISA. Please contact ISA directly.

Can I change the name on my account?

For security reasons we do not allow this to be done through MyISA. Accounts are non-transferable. If you have changed your name, or would like ISA to address you differently, please contact us.

How do I change my address or add an address to my account?

To change your address, go to "My Account" -> "My Profile". On the "Addresses" tab, you can add a new address to your account. You can change your mailing address for both journals and correspondence from ISA on the "General Information" tab.

How do I change where journals are sent?

Once you have added an address to your account, in the "My Profile" area, you can set that address as the recipient address. To do this, go to "My Profile" and look under the "General Information" tab. In the lower part, you will see "Contact Preferences" click the "Change" link here. You will then be able to select your new address.
