(3) Presents satisfactory evidence that he or she does not have a conviction for an act, within or outside of this state, that would constitute a ground for disciplinary sanction under IC 25-1-9.

If the transcript is not in English, the applicant must submit a certified copy of an official English translation. Graduates of a foreign physical therapy program must submit notarized copies of their transcripts if official transcripts are unavailable. (7) Submits the applicant's valid United States Social Security number. (8) Meets all other minimum requirements as specified in IC 25-27-1.
