(1)
Surveyor-in-training.
A
					 candidate for certification as a surveyor-in-training shall be of good moral
					 character and achieve a passing score on the NCEES fundamentals of surveying
					 examination. To qualify for the fundamentals of surveying examination, the
					 candidate shall possess one of the following qualifications:

					 engineering curriculum in the United States accredited by ABET, including a
					 minimum of 10 credit hours of instruction in surveying or graduation from an
					 undergraduate 4-year surveying curriculum in the United States accredited by
					 ABET. A student who has completed 2 years of a 4-year surveying curriculum and
					 has maintained current enrollment may, with Board approval, sit for the
					 fundamentals of surveying examination, but will not be eligible for
					 certification as a surveyor-in-training until the student provides proof of
					 graduation. The effective date of certification will be the later of the date
					 of graduation or the date of notification from NCEES of achieving a passing
					 score on the fundamentals of surveying examination.

					 and character sufficient to enable the candidate to independently learn through
					 practice the surveying skills and principles of mathematics attained through
					 formal education.

					 unrelated to the candidate. The remaining references may be professional
					 engineers, professional geologists or unlicensed surveyors who, through
					 education and experience, possess an equivalent level of expertise as that of a
