A list of mathematics courses offered by your school including textbooks used, author and date and a brief description of the topics covered in each course must be included with the Petition. The names of your charter members must also be included, grouped by approximate year of graduation.

   Also let us know how you found out about Mu Alpha Theta.

6. Submit the Petition along with a one-time $15 charter initiation fee and the $10 one-time membership registration fee for each student joining your chapter.

Each petitioning institution will be notified within three weeks whether or not a charter has been granted. When a charter is granted, each student will receive a certificate of membership, membership card and a Mu Alpha Theta decal. The school will receive a Charter Certificate suitable for framing.

   If preferred, you may email the petition form back, along with the list of your courses and just mail the front signature page with a check
