Access To The Program Submission System
To submit a proposal or individual abstract to the Program Committee for consideration for an upcoming Annual Meeting, you must be an SCS member in good standing so that you can log in to the online submission system. When you log in, you should use the credentials you have created at the Johns Hopkins University Press (JHUP). The large majority of members created an account at JHUP when they paid dues by credit card or consulted the online directory of members. If you need any help retrieving these credentials or creating an account, follow the appropriate link below:

- Need to create an account?
If you are not sure whether you have paid your SCS dues, contact the customer service staff at the Johns Hopkins University Press at [email protected], 800-548-1784 (US and Canada only), or 410-516-6987 (all others).
Membership payments are due by December 31. If you are paying dues, please allow AT LEAST A WEEK for your payment to be received and processed by Johns Hopkins. Absolutely NO extensions of the deadlines will be possible because of unpaid membership fees or because membership applications were not submitted with sufficient time for processing before the deadline. If you need to renew your membership, please go to https://scs.press.jhu.edu/membership/join.
Reminder: You must use the username and password you have established with the Johns Hopkins University Press for the program submission system. If you have created a different username or password on classicalstudies.org, those credentials will not give you access to the submission system.
Eligibility To Appear On SCS Program
All participants in panels, seminars, workshops and paper sessions at the Annual Meeting are required to be SCS members in good standing. Organizers of panels, seminars, and workshops must verify participants’ membership status before the proposal is submitted to the Program Committee. If you are not sure whether you have paid your SCS dues for the current year, contact the customer service staff at the Johns Hopkins University Press at [email protected], 800-548-1784 (US and Canada only), or 410-516-6987 (all others).
A waiver of the membership requirement may be requested from the Program Committee by the organizer(s) of a regular panel, committee panel, workshop, seminar, roundtable discussion session, organizer-refereed or affiliated group panel at the time the session is submitted for review to the program committee. The waiver may be requested if the participant in question is a scholar in a field not ordinarily associated with classical studies. (Note: At least one organizer of a roundtable discussion session should be a member.)
A waiver of SCS membership for participation in the Annual Meeting will be granted only once for any given individual. By action of the SCS Board of Directors, such waivers may not be granted to a scholar who is submitting an individual abstract to the Program Committee. Requests for waivers should be sent directly to the SCS Executive Director ([email protected]).
Annual Meeting Registration
All participants in sessions on the program, including nonmembers who have received a waiver of the membership requirement, must register for the Annual Meeting and pay the applicable fees.
Single Appearance Policy and Single Submission Policy
Please Note: The Program Committee is aware of members engaging in double submissions at the Annual Meeting. In response to this, they strongly encourage all submitters to read and adhere to the SCS’s Single Appearance Policy and Single Submission Policy, found below. Failure to comply could result in the invalidation of ALL submissions.
