1. Step 1: Join MUSE on G.O. Penn

   Use your PennKey to log in to G.O. Penn (Groups Online at Penn).

   Select STUDENT GROUPS from the navigation menu. Then select FIND A GROUP TO JOIN. For TYPE, select ACADEMIC & PRE-PROFESSIONAL. For KEYWORDS, search MUSE. Under MUSE, click APPLY.

   

2. Step 2: Check the Expiration Date of Your AMA Membership

   MUSE is an award-winning collegiate chapter of the American Marketing Association (AMA). All members of MUSE must become members of the AMA, which has a membership fee of $45 that must be renewed every 12 months. MUSE does not charge any additional chapter fees. The $45 membership fee goes directly to the AMA.

   To check the expiration date of your membership, visit the AMA website. In the top-right corner, enter your username and password to log in to your account. If you forgot your login, click FORGOT LOGIN? and follow the instructions until you get your login information.

   If you are prompted to try a 30-day trial membership, click LEARN MORE and then click NO THANKS.

   Once you're logged in, click MY PROFILE in the top right corner. This will direct you to a page called ACCOUNT INFORMATION.

   If your membership HAS NOT yet expired, your account information will have an expiration date. If this is the case, you do not need to renew your AMA membership at this time. You will need to renew it upon expiration. You may proceed to Step 5.

   If your membership HAS expired, you will see a link called BECOME AN AMA MEMBER instead of an expiration date. Click BECOME AN AMA MEMBER.
