GENERAL MEMBER - General members are:
a) Individuals who do not qualify under other classifications but, by virtue of their background, education and/or experience wish to hold membership for purposes of their own general interest
b) Graduates of the Institute's 2-year "Certificate in Supervisory Management" course requirements
c) Those who have generally met the admission criteria for the Education programs(s) and are currently enrolled in those programs

CORPORATE MEMBER - This category will include persons within organizations and groups that have paid the required membership fees.(See Corporate Programs section)

CAMPUS MEMBER - Eligible Campus members are those who have enrolled in a full-time degree, diploma or certificate program at a Canadian university or college which is participating in the CIM campus membership program.  Students must maintain Campus membership throughout their academic program in order to qualify for credit towards the C.I.M. designation without the necessity of a credit application form.

Upon graduation from the college, the student must join the Institute as a member in the classification for which they qualify.  Prior to receiving the C.I.M. certificate and designation, a graduating student must:
a) complete all subjects required
b) retain CIM campus membership during the above period to satisfy the Institute that they have attained the required degree of professionalism

LIFE MEMBER - Life member recognition is garnered to a member of the Institute who is recognized as contributing exemplary service to the Branch and/or at the National level.
