HOSA Chapter Affiliation Process
The Affiliation Process is online and it is easy! All chapters affiliate through the National HOSA website at www.hosa.org.
HOSA Chapter Affiliation is required each school year for all Health Science and Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Programs.
Internet Affiliation Instructions
If you are offering a new Health Science or PLTW: Biomedical program, the first step in using the Internet Affiliation System is to call your HOSA State Advisor to request a National Charter Number
and a Chapter Password for access to the affiliation system.
If the Health Science or PLTW: Biomedical program already has an established HOSA Chapter and used the Internet to affiliate last year, the Chapter Password and National Chart Number will be the
same this year. If the advisor has changed, this information should be updated during the affiliation process.
Go to the National HOSA website at www.hosa.org, locate the Membership tab, click on Join HOSA. You will see instructions for completing the affiliation process. Go to the Affiliate link provided on
the website and then enter your Chapter’s Password and National Charter Number in the area called Local Chapter Advisor.
After successfully logging in, you should reach the main menu. To access instructions for online affiliation, click on the first link in the main menu. It is recommended that you review the instructions if
you are unfamiliar with the online affiliation system.
You will affiliate each student and advisor by entering their name and information online. As of May 2013, Alabama State and National Dues are $16.00, but you must check at the beginning of each
school year for the correct amount for dues. They are subject to change. An affiliation receipt can be printed upon completion of entering the students and advisors names into website. Mail check to
National HOSA for the total amount due for all affiliated members.
The instructions for affiliation will be updated each school year, so be sure to refer to the National HOSA website for the current process which may be different from the instructions as printed above.
