Registrants in good standing, with the exception of student members and honorary agrologists, are eligible to vote at elections or on motions at an AGM and to hold office in the institute.

Being a Registrant with a designation carries responsibility, authority and recognition. Regulated agrology professionals in British Columbia use a title, also known as a designation:

• A Professional Agrologist (PAg) has already completed the Articling Program and has at least two years of agrology-related work experience after their first eligible degree. A PAg can use their professional seal on documents.
• A Technical Agrologist (TAg) has completed the Articling Program and has at least two years of agrology-related work experience after their first eligible diploma, applied degree, or degree. A TAg can use their professional seal on documents.
• An Articling Agrologist (AAg) must meet mandatory education requirements and be approved for registration by the Credentials Committee. Upon successful completion of the Articling Program, the AAg is eligible to become a PAg.
• An Articling Technical Agrologist (ATAg) must meet mandatory education requirements and be approved for registration by the Credentials Committee. Upon successful completion of the Articling Program, the ATAg is eligible to become a TAg.

The PAg and TAg designations are both authorized to sign professional work provided it is in their areas of specialization. Professional designations command a higher wage and may give an edge over less qualified individuals when competing for employment or clients.
