Applications for licensure are processed in the following manner:
(1) An individual requests the application packet for
the type of licensure desired and includes the fee for the Board to
send the application packet. No applicant can have more than one application
pending before the Board at one time, unless the second application
is to become a licensed specialist in school psychology.
(2) An applicant submits the completed application
form, any other information required by the Board, and the application
filing fee. An application which contains an incorrect fee amount
or which does not include the information required to be submitted
must be returned to the applicant. The responsibility of ensuring
a complete application resides with the applicant. The application
packet will contain a checklist which should be followed carefully.
An incomplete application remains in the active file for 90 days,
at the end of which time, if still incomplete, it is void. If licensure
is sought again, a new application and filing fee must be submitted.
(3) Applications which contain all required information
are reviewed by the Applications Committee of the Board to determine
if the applicants are eligible to sit for the examinations.
(4) Once an applicant is reviewed by the Applications
Committee of the Board, the applicant receives a letter from the Board
approving or denying the applicant to sit for the examinations. If
the letter indicates the applicant is approved, the applicant may
then submit an examination application and the appropriate fees for
any required examinations.
(5) After sitting for examination(s), an applicant
is informed in writing of the results of the examination(s). An applicant
who has passed the examination(s) is informed in writing that the
applicant has been licensed.
(6) If an applicant's application for licensure is
denied, the applicant shall have 20 days from the date of denial to
submit a written request to the Board for a hearing at the State Office
of Administrative Hearings. The Board must receive the written request
on or before the 20th day following the date of denial for the request
to be timely made. If a timely request is made, the Board shall refer
the contested case to the State Office of Administrative Hearings
for a hearing. If a timely written request is not made, the denial
is final.
