Although only one has been used so far, there are two.

The one that has been used every time is the one in which at least two thirds of each of the two houses of Congress passes a Constitutional Amendment Proposal. In the other procedure, at least two thirds of the states form a convention which passes an Amendment Proposal. In either case, at least three fourths of the states must approve (ratify) it before it becomes part of the Constitution.
