Adding Additional Team Members

How do I register additional team members after I have registered?
You will need to be a paid SAE student member or the faculty advisor. Students must be affiliated with the school for the team that you are adding the student or yourself to.

One paid SAE student member or faculty advisor may add all team members to their competition registration by logging into MySAE and following the HOW TO REGISTER instructions above. However, all driver's license, insurance and emergency contact information must be added/updated prior to the competition. You may request a roster of your student members by emailing: CustomerService@sae.org. In your email be sure to include your school name and campus/city branch if necessary.

NOTE: It is imperative that you enter all valid Driver's License; Insurance and Emergency Contact information PRIOR to the competition.

Potential Errors:

This is not a valid number
The number you entered can not be found in the computer system because the individual is not a paid member, or is not affiliated with the school.

Member is not associated with this school
This means that although the student is an SAE member, our records do not show them as being affiliated with the school that you are trying to add them to. See "unrecognized schools" above.

A blank screen is also an error, which could occur for various reasons
