(1)
Filing Procedure
. An individual desiring to be
			 licensed as a licensed site professional shall fully complete a current
			 application form approved by the Board and file such completed form, together
			 with the application fee. Incomplete applications, and applications which are
			 not legible, are not typed, are not completed according to the instructions, or
			 are not accompanied by the requisite fee, may be denied by the Board if the
			 applicant fails to correct deficiencies in the application in a timely manner.
			 The application form may require the applicant to submit, or cause to be
			 submitted, references and information related to the applicant's moral
			 character, employment history, education, experience, and any other information
			 deemed appropriate by the Board. At any stage during the review of an
			 application, the Board may require an applicant to provide additional
			 information pertaining to his or her application.
(2)
Documentary Evidence of
			 Education
. The applicant shall submit original transcripts or
			 other documentation issued by the educational institution(s) from which the
			 applicant earned the degree needed to demonstrate the minimum education
			 requirement for licensure. The Board will retain the original documentation.
			 The Board, at its discretion, may require the applicant to furnish additional
			 documentation pertaining to his or her application.
(3)
Review of
			 Applications
. The Board will consider each application separately.
			 The Board will review each application, including the evidence of education and
			 other required documentation, to determine the completeness of the application
			 and the eligibility of the applicant for examination. In reviewing each
			 application, the Board may also obtain information about the applicant from the
			 Department, current and former employers, supervisors, and others. For total
			 professional experience and relevant professional experience, the Board will
			 review each position separately to determine if each position meets the
			 requirements of total professional experience or relevant professional
			 experience.
(4)
Interviews
. The Board, in its discretion, may require
			 an applicant to appear for a personal interview for the purpose of answering
			 questions pertaining to an application. However, the Board is under no
			 obligation to require or hold such an interview. If an applicant twice fails to
			 appear for a personal interview scheduled with the Board, the application shall
			 be denied and the applicant shall be deemed ineligible to take an examination
			 until a subsequent application is approved, unless the Board finds that such
			 failure to appear was due to circumstances reasonably beyond the applicant's
			 control.
(5)
Notification of Applicants
. Each applicant deemed
			 eligible for examination by the Board will be notified promptly of the
			 location(s) where the examination will be held, the materials he or she is
			 permitted to bring to the examination, and other necessary information. Each
			 applicant found ineligible for examination by the Board will promptly be sent a
			 written decision explaining the reasons the Board has found the applicant
			 ineligible. An individual whose application is denied may be barred from
			 reapplying for a period of not more than five years.
(6)
Reapplication
.
			 Each applicant found ineligible to take an examination may reapply at any time,
			 unless the Board has barred the individual from reapplying for a period of not
			 more than five years. Applicants who reapply within six months of the date the
			 Board issued its notice of the denial of a prior application may utilize the
			 references submitted with the prior application. Applicants who reapply need
			 not submit transcripts or other educational documentation that were previously
			 submitted. An application fee and a new set of application forms must be
			 submitted with each reapplication.
