Section 20 CSR 2150-4.030 - Reexamination

PURPOSE: This rule outlines the requirements and procedures for retaking the licensure examination for speech-language pathologists or audiologists, or both.

(1) A candidate whose license has lapsed for more than three (3) years, pursuant to section 345.055(1), RSMo, must submit a new application (see 20 CSR 2150-4.010) pursuant to 20 CSR 2150-4.010 and 20 CSR 2150-4.020. The board may require such applicants to be reexamined pursuant to section 345.055(1), RSMo.
(2) A candidate who is reexamined because of a lapsed license and who fails the reexamination is disqualified from retaking the examination until the applicant satisfies requirements of the commission. This requires the applicant to meet with the commission, for the commission to specify further education and experience needed and for the applicant to document that these requirements have been satisfied.
(3) All other candidates may retake the examination two (2) subsequent times. Both of the two (2) subsequent reexaminations must be retaken within three (3) years of the date of the approval of the candidate's application. A candidate who fails the initial examination and fails two (2) subsequent reexaminations shall be disqualified until the applicant satisfies requirements of the commission. This requires the applicant to meet with the commission, for the commission to specify further education and experience needed and for the applicant to document that these requirements have been satisfied before being allowed to take the examination for the final time.
(4) If the candidate has not taken the subsequent two (2) reexaminations by the end of the three (3)-year period prescribed in this rule, the initial commission approval to sit for the examinations shall then become invalid and in order to be considered for further reexamination, the applicant shall file a complete new application including the nonrefundable application fee with the commission.
