Application Review and Evaluation

M.G.L. c. 112 obligates the Board to review and consider an applicant's education, performance on required examinations, relevant Work Experience, and references. The Board cannot process applications if an applicant is unable to submit sufficient supporting Evidence related to the foregoing. (1) Each application must be reviewed and approved by a member of the Board. Approval or denial of an application requires a majority vote of the Board. Applications not approved due to being incomplete shall not be considered denied. (2) If the required Reference Questionnaires are not received by the Board within three months the applicant will be so advised. If not received within six months, the application will be rejected. (3) If any deficiency in an application, including supplemental information requested by the Board, is not remedied within three months after notice of such deficiency is mailed to the applicant, the Board will act on the basis of the available information. (4) Final Board action is based on the documented qualifications of the applicant. (5) An application indicating that the applicant has been practicing engineering or surveying in violation of the law will be investigated and prosecuted if warranted. (6) All application materials are maintained in compliance with the public records law. Samples of work included with application are destroyed after action by the Board. (7) Applications that remain dormant/incomplete for a period of 180 days will automatically lapse.
