The Registrar may refer an application to the registration committee if it appears that the individual may not be eligible for membership or that certain terms or conditions should be imposed on the individual's membership. Which outcome is possible?

• A. The applicant's file is reviewed but remains unchanged
• B. The registration committee may impose terms or conditions on membership
• C. The application is automatically approved
• D. The applicant is permanently barred from applying

Answer: (B)

When an application raises questions about eligibility or about how the applicant would practice, the Registrar may refer the file to the registration committee to determine appropriate action. In this situation, the committee has the authority to attach terms or conditions to membership to address concerns and protect the public. This could include requirements like supervised practice, specific remediation or education steps, ongoing reporting, or practice limitations until certain criteria are met. That is why this outcome is the best fit: it directly reflects how referrals are used to authorize safe, competent practice by imposing necessary conditions. Other possibilities don’t align with the referral’s purpose. A file being reviewed and left unchanged wouldn’t reflect the concerns prompting the referral, automatic approval would skip the review process, and being permanently barred is a disciplinary outcome that follows a separate proceeding, not merely a referral to consider terms or conditions.
