Registration Fee Chart

If you are applying for registration no later than December 31 of the year in which you obtain your social work degree or social service work diploma, you are eligible for a $100 exemption from the membership fee for the two years of membership immediately following the year of registration. If you fail to pay the $170.00 annual fee prior to the date on which the late penalty is effective in the first year of membership, you will not be eligible for the $100.00 exemption in the subsequent year. 

These fee exemptions apply to those graduating with a Certificate in Canadian Social Work Practice from the Internationally Educated Social Work Professionals Bridging Program at Ryerson University.
