Campus Groups
ACJA‑LAE members may organize Criminal Justice Societies or Clubs on their campuses by registering with their Student Organization or Activities Office.

Chapters
ACJA‑LAE does not recognize individual chapters. Instead, all campus groups operate as independent student organizations under your campus' rules.

Finances & Fundraising

Any dues, fundraisers, or money collections must be processed through your university’s approved account or index—do not use the national EIN.

Shipping of Member Materials

If your campus has an active group, official ACJA‑LAE materials (pins, booklets, etc.) will be sent to your campus representative for distribution, not to individual members’ homes.
