NOTES: FEE PAYMENTS FOR ASSESSMENT FOR ADMISSION/REGISTRATION
A. For an Applicant who is already a Technician, Graduate or Professional Member (equivalent to the Grade being applied for) of an overseas institution recognized by the IGPNG, the Application Fee shall be the same as for Geoscientists qualified in Papua New Guinea. In this case, any excess Application Fee received will be offset against the Registration Fees for the duration of the registration period.
B. The Institution of Geoscientists PNG Inc (IGPNG) Board’s assessment procedures are the final assessment evaluation to approve Membership to IGPNG. The Registration and Membership requirements are identical and there is no provision for a geoscientist to be registered without becoming a Member of the Institution. Any person involved in any related geoscience work in PNG MUST be a registered Member of IGPNG. It follows that all Registration Fees are inclusive of Membership Fees and vice versa.
C. The classifications/categories of Members paying Membership Fees ONLY and no Registration fees are as follows: Student Members, Graduate Members, Technician Members, Associate Members, Service Members or any Member, or Fellow, or Notary who is residing overseas and not involved in any Geoscience work related to projects etc in Papua New Guinea.
D. The Late Application fee applies to those non-citizens who are only applying for registration now, although they have been in the Country for more than 3 months and have been working in geoscience related activities during their stay in Papua New Guinea.
