Action:
Amend qualifications to sit for Fundamentals exam and add GIT designation
Action 3566
General Information
| Action Summary |
The proposed amendments to the regulation change the qualifications for applicants applying to sit for the FG exam by removing the work experience requirement and by allowing not only college graduates with baccalaureate or higher degrees, but also undergraduate college students within 12 months of completing undergraduate degree requirements, and graduate college students within 6 months of completing graduate degree requirements to apply to sit for the FG exam. The proposed language further amends the regulation to allow individuals who have passed the FG exam, completed the required geological science course work and obtained a baccalaureate or higher degree to apply for the designation of Geologist-in-Training (GIT). |
