Section 61-23-27.3 - [Repealed effective 7/1/2029] Certification of surveyor intern-requirements
A. An applicant for certification as a surveyor intern shall file the appropriate application and demonstrate that the applicant:
(1) is of good moral character and reputation as determined by board rules;
(2) has obtained at least a senior status in a board-approved, four-year curriculum in surveying; and
(3) has three references, two of whom shall be licensed professional surveyors having personal knowledge of the applicant's knowledge and experience.
B. After acceptance of the application by the board, the applicant shall be allowed to take the appropriate examination for certification as a surveyor intern.
C. Upon successfully completing the examination and an approved four-year surveying curriculum, then by action of the board, the applicant may be certified as a surveyor intern.

E. If otherwise qualified, a graduate of a board-approved but related curriculum of at least four years, to be considered for certification as a surveyor intern, shall have a specific record of two years of combined office and field board-approved surveying experience obtained under the direction of a licensed professional surveyor. Class time will not be counted in the two years of required experience, but work prior to or while attending school may be counted toward the two years of required experience at the discretion of the board.
