Official membership in the IQA is for teams who are already established and are officially recognized by their institution.
If your team is not officially recognized by your institution in any capacity, your team can be recognized in the IQA as a community team as long as you do not use your school’s name. Please note that a team may change their name at any time (for example, if you become approved by your school after signing up as a community team).
