Membership Guidelines

The British-American Students Association (BASA), the British culture club of FIU, aims to foster the love of Great Britain and to share in the knowledge of British culture, history, traditions, and ideals.

The Association is not restricted to students and faculty of British descent, but also invites our Commonwealth friends and those with an active interest in British culture. There are two forms of membership in BASA:

Full Membership

Full members pay a non-refundable $20.00 for the entire school year, fall and spring.
