In order to maintain Chartered status of either CGeol or CSci, you must continue to pay your Fellowship and Chartership fee and upkeep your Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
For those whose Chartership has been lapsed for less than three years, you can reinstate your Chartership by:
- Completing a Request for Reinstatement form (available below)
- Submittng Continuing Professional Development (CPD) records for all years covering the lapsed period
- Paying a reapplication fee
Where status has lapsed for more than three years, a completely new application for Chartership status must be submitted and a full validation interview carried out.
The designation of FGS may also be lapsed and should be similarly reinstated at the closest possible opportunity.
*It should be noted that the re-application fee would not apply in instances where a Fellow has given prior notice to the Society of their intention to undertake any form of career break (maternity, ill health etc).
