The best way for EADL to meet its objectives and carry out its mission is for more members to join and thus strengthen the organisation and broaden its scope. Membership application forms are available on this page.

There are four categories of members of EADL:
(1) Ordinary members and Institutional Associates members,
(2) National association members,
(3) Associate members and
(4) Honorary members

1. Ordinary membership is open to privately-owned and to non-governmental organisations active in the provision of distance learning in Europe. To qualify for ordinary EADL membership, an institution must comply with the Code of Conduct of the Association and with the Minimum Standards of Quality for EADL members.

   EADL only accept members with the word “university” in their name and/or the claim that they offer degrees if they complied with local laws concerning higher education, which meant only institutes recognized by the Ministry of Education or accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the Ministry of Education would be eligible for membership.
   
   Membership is also open to public sector providers sympathetic to the advantages and needs of the private sector; corporate human resources and training departments; educational publishers; developers of educational software; and educational consultants. If you are in any of these categories and interested in membership, you are welcome to apply NOW.

2. National Associations of distance learning providers may apply for National Association Membership. Such membership gives them full voting rights but no rights of membership of EADL will accrue to the members of the National Association. Such members qualify for special rates when attending annual conferences, however.
