Pharmacist Members
Membership Renewal
All categories of SCPP membership require annual renewal. In April of each year, an advisory is emailed, discussing procedures and requirements for membership renewal, including any changes to the renewal process.
How to Renew
The Membership Renewal Application Form is a web-based form available on this site through the secure “Member Login” portal page. Forgotten passwords can be sent to members by clicking the link just below the login screen.
Deadline for Renewal
Online application, fees, and requirements must be received by the SCPP office on or before June 1 of the renewal year or be subject to a late payment penalty fee.
Memberships not renewed by June 30 will be terminated. If you know that you will be terminating your membership, please email SCPP to advise at SCPPRegistration@saskpharm.ca .
We encourage members to renew early to aid in SCPP internal processing time.

Membership Migration During Renewal
Pharmacist members who would like to migrate their membership to another membership category during renewal should contact the SCPP office to ensure all requirements have been met before proceeding online. Refer to Part E.5 of the Regulatory Bylaws for more detailed information.
Once all requirements have been met, the member can click on the MIGRATE & RENEW button on the portal homepage. The first step will be to complete the migration application and then to renew in the new category.
Membership Reinstatement
Less than one membership year
As per the SCPP bylaws, when the name of a member has been removed from the register due to non-payment of the prescribed fee(s) and the person wishes to be reinstated as a member, the person must register with the College within one membership year of the date of termination by meeting the requirements of the Act and the bylaws, including, without limitation, section 1 of Part E.6, completing the required forms and paying the prescribed fee(s).
More than one membership year
Additionally, any person whose membership has been allowed to lapse for a period of more than one membership year may only be reinstated as a member upon Council approval, meeting the requirements in these bylaws for the membership category applied for, and according to any other terms and conditions prescribed by Council.
Extended Leave
- If a member goes on extended leave (e.g., maternity/paternity), they may choose not to renew their licence, and their licence will then be terminated.
- For the next renewal period, they must reinstate their licence in the same category (e.g., non-practising or practising).
- If the member does not renew in the next renewal period, they must appeal with a formal written letter addressed to SCPP Council asking to be reinstated as a member. Note that:
- Council meets February/March, May/June, September, and November/December.
- SCPP does not pro-rate membership fees, in order to ensure its goals and mandates remain sustainable.
Membership Migration Outside of Renewal
Should a member wish to migrate their membership from Non-Practising to Practising outside of the membership annual renewal, they should contact the SCPP office.
