(b) An applicant for certification may be permitted to take the FG examination within the final year of an appropriate, accredited, bachelor's degree program if he has completed or is registered for the geologic course work required to qualify as a geologist.

(c) When the Board is satisfied that an application is complete and in the proper form and that the applicant is eligible in all other aspects to be certified, it shall certify the applicant as eligible to take the FG examination.

(d) If for any reason the Board is not satisfied that an applicant is eligible in all respects for examination or certification as required by the Act or these rules, it may deny the individual's application or it may require additional data concerning the applicant's qualifications for certification.

(e) Before certification, an applicant shall have passed the FG examination.

(f) Trainees may use "G.I.T." or "Geologist-in-training" as a title after their name, providing these designations are not used in conjunction with their file number or preceded by the word "licensed" or any other words that might lead someone to believe they are licensed as a professional geologist.
