Schedule A: How pro-rated portion of a member’s annual fee is calculated
Example 1: If request to change from “non-practising” to “practising” is received by the College before
or on:
a) February 15 – pro-rated portion due: administrative fee + 11 * (50% of annual member fee)/12
= $118.65 + $533.93 * 11/12
= $608.09
b) March 15 – pro-rated portion due would be: administrative fee + 10 * (50% of annual member fee)/12
= $563.59
Example 2: If request to change from “non-practising” to “practising” received by the College after:
a) April 15 – pro-rated portion due: $118.65+ $533.93 * 8/12
= $474.60
b) October 15 – pro-rated portion due: $118.65 + $533.93 * 2/12
= $207.64
c) December 15 – pro-rated portion due: $118.65
*Note, all College membership fees, including non-practising, are non-refundable.
