An applicant has two years in which to submit and, where
necessary, re-submit their application. Throughout the
initial enquiry stage, registration and application process great
care will be taken to support applicants prepare for Fellowship.
This includes the opportunity to discuss their eligibility with the
Faculty Lead or a member of the Fellowship Committee (via the
Fellowship Unit).
Where the adjudicators do not make a positive recommendation for
fellowship applicants are invited to resubmit with commentary on
their initial application. Any further adverse recommendations from
adjudicators will be forwarded to the Fellowship Committee for a
decision. A case bank is continually being built so in many
circumstances this happens when a situation is presented that the
criteria don't strictly accommodate.
In the event of an adverse decision, applicants will have
recourse to an appeals procedure, determined by a Tribunal
comprising the Chairman of Council, the Honorary Secretary and one
other elected Member of Council.
