1. (1) An applicant successfully qualifying for an examination will be notified in advance of the examination for which the exam fee has been paid.

   1. (a) Should the applicant fail to take the ALSS examination offered or fail to pass the examination and plans to retake the examination, the applicant must pay the examination fee as set by the Board. Should the applicant fail to take the examination or fail to pass the examination applied for, the fee paid is not refundable.
   2. (b) In the event an applicant fails to pass the examination after one year, the applicant will be notified that the application has been closed.
   3. (c) If an application is closed, in order to be considered for further examinations, an applicant must file a new application, and pay the application fee as required by Law. The applicant must meet the eligibility requirements of the current Law and Administrative Code.
   4. (d) In the event the requalified applicant again fails to pass the examination after one (1) year, the application will be closed, and the procedure as outlined in (d) above would then be repeated before further consideration would be afforded the applicant.
