Update, August 25, 3:30pm Eastern/12:30pm Pacific

The first part of NIRSA’s domain name switch (DNS) upgrade has been completed. Most NIRSA services—including NIRSA Connect and NIRSA Foundation donations—are now fully functional! In order to ensure a complete transition to our new database software, please clear your browser’s cookies.

Some NIRSA services and functions may still be experiencing errors as we work with our third party vendors to apply updates. If you continue to have issues, please contact NIRSA Headquarters.

Due to a planned system upgrade to our membership database, portions of the NIRSA website will be down beginning Monday, August 14. Any website functionality that requires a login will be inaccessible.

The following will be impacted during the upgrade: profile updates, purchases from the NIRSA store, including event registrations; new, one-time and scheduled recurring NIRSA Foundation donations; NIRSA Connect; access to the Institutional Data Set and archived salary surveys; the Recreational Sports Journal digital archives; and NIRSA Learning recordings and resources. It’s important to note that NIRSA Staff also won’t have access to these operations and services and will be unable to process any transactions during this time.

The apparent changes after the upgrade will be minimal and the website will look mostly familiar. Registration and membership renewals will look slightly different but will remain intuitive.

Following the upgrade, members will no longer have access to the Institutional Data Set and Salary surveys for data input or comparisons. The Association will share information about how to access that information soon.

Staff anticipates that members will be able to log in and complete most transactions within 2-4 days after the upgrade is complete. Some systems such as the Learning Management System (i.e., NIRSA Learning) and Annual Conference expo registration may be impacted until late-August to accommodate this change. Exhibitor early bird registration is September 6, and companies should contact Assistant Director of Expo & Corporate Relations Kelley Hungerford if there are concerns about securing the discounted booth rate before prices increase.

When site functionality is restored, members will be notified via email and the news will be shared across NIRSA’s social media platforms.

We appreciate your patience as you may encounter broken links for a short time following the upgrade.

  • If you require immediate access to a NIRSA service or resource that is unavailable to you, please call NIRSA Headquarters at 541-766-8211 or contact us by email at nirsa@nirsa.org. If you have questions or want to report a problem once the site resumes full functionality, please reach out to the NIRSA Membership Department.
