Retired Denturists
Individuals who have resigned their Certificate of Registration with the College while in good standing are permitted to apply to use a “Retired” honourary status.
The by-laws regarding the Retired Status are:
Designation of Retired Members
Upon receiving a request, the Registration Committee may designate a Member a Retired Member if,
i. at the time of making the request, the Member is in good standing; and
ii. the Member has retired from the practice of Denturism and agrees not to engage in the practice of
Denturism.
Entitlements of Retired Members
A Retired Member is entitled to,
i. remain on the register of the College as a Retired Member;
ii. participate in the activities of the College; however, the Retired Member is not entitled to vote in the
election of the Council or hold elected office; and
iii. to use the title Denturist (Retired), Registered Denturist (Retired) or DD (Ret).
Termination of Retired Membership Status
A Retired Member status shall terminate if the Registrar has reasonable grounds to believe that the person,
i. has been found to be in default of any obligation to the College under the regulations or the by-laws;
ii. practises the profession or uses the protected title without first obtaining a certificate of registration
from the College; or
iii. otherwise acts in a manner that is inconsistent with an ongoing association with the College.
Retired Members that wish to return to the Active class of registration will be required to apply for a Certificate of Registration and meet the registration requirements in place at the time of the application.
