You can request a prorated refund of your CCCC membership dues by sending a message to NCTE. NCTE’s FAQ indicates that membership dues are not refundable; however, refunds are being issued.

One member shared the following reply sent to their request [Emphasis mine]:

Dear Name Withheld,

Thank you for your letter requesting a refund of your CCCC dues. On July 24, 2026, following the Executive Committee’s vote to de-charter CCCC, the group also voted to grant refund requests on a prorated basis. We respect your decision to cancel your membership and have initiated the refund process. Please note that the refund will be issued back to the original payer, whether that is yourself or your institution.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance.

Refund request from Timothy Oleksiak

Hello. I’m sure the person who’s reading this had nothing to do with the decision today by the NCTE Exec Committee to de-charter CCCC so I’m not going to rant at you, but I have no interest in being an NCTE member without CCCC.

My member number is XXXXXXX. If you need to prorate it for a month since I just renewed in late June, I can live with that although I’d ask you to consider the optics of that decision. Either way, I don’t want to be a member of NCTE and I don’t want the current leadership team to access to membership dues. Please refund as much as you can as quickly as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Customer Service,

Since the de-chartering of the Conference on College Composition and Communication – CCCC, the National Council of Teachers of English no longer serves my professional needs. I would appreciate it greatly if at this time an exception regarding refunds might be made not only for me but also for the several thousand colleagues from the college and other sections who might feel similarly.

Thank you for logging and considering this request—

Assistant CCCC Chair Donnie Johnson Sackey posted an update on the 2027 CCCC Convention (Backup: Google Doc) today on Facebook.

Sackey reports that in a meeting with NCTE Chair Antero Garcia and NCTE Executive Director Emily Kirkpatrick, he disucssed the possibilitiese to move forward with plans for CCCC’s 2027 Convention. The group agreed that no acceptance notifications will be sent for the Convention until a final decision is made about whether the conference can take place.

The conversation focused on NCTE leadership, on concerns about trust, governance, and member dissatisfaction, and on suggestions to lower registration costs and provide space for members to discuss the future of the organization.
