Application Requirements and the Oral Examination (Jurisprudence Exam)

*Documents must be received by 5PM Central Standard Time on the Application Deadline date in order to be considered on-time. It is noted that the current capacity of an oral examination day is approximately 10 candidates. Therefore, a completed application near the application deadline does not ensure that you will be accepted for the oral examination that cycle. It is best to get your application in as early as possible prior to the upcoming deadlines.  

Your standard application for licensure should be submitted at least two weeks prior to the application deadline. A complete application includes:

  • Completed Application Form along with signed and notarized Affidavit and signed Criminal Background Request for Fingerprint Card
  • Application Fee ($250.00 for Behavior Analyst; $100.00 for Assistant Behavior Analyst; additional $75 for Temporary License)
  • Criminal Background Check processing fee ($35.00; should accompany Application Form and can be included with Application Fee)
  • Completed Fingerprint Card
  • All official undergraduate and graduate transcripts attended from all institutions. Transcripts sent directly from the applicant and/or via email from the institution will not be accepted.
