Is there any difference between full-year and half-year memberships?
Except for the amount of membership dues, there is no other difference between them. All members of same grade and in good standing are treated the same across the IEEE according to the non-discrimination policy which can be found at: Nondiscrimination Policy.
However, for half-year membership, the availability of back issues of all publications for the first half of the calendar year cannot be guaranteed.
