In this system, all of your actions and records within Key Club will be recorded under your name. If your name is not in the system and you add Key Club as an extracurricular activity on your college applications, colleges will be able to see that you are not in the system and consider it lying and your application could be rescinded.

(FAQ'S) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I. What will happen if I do not pay my dues?
If you do not pay your dues and you list Key Club as an extra curricular on your college applications, you could have your application revoked because colleges are able to check to see if your name is actually in the Dues-Paid CNH Official Database, the Membership Update Center (MUC).
II. Do I have to pay my dues every year even if I paid last year?
Yes, each member has to pay his or her dues EVERY year because each year is a new term. That means in high school, you should be paying for four terms: four payments for dues in total throughout high school.
III. Can I go to District Convention (DCON) without paying my dues?
No, each member who wishes to attend DCON must be a dues payed member for the current term. No exceptions.
