Licensure applicant status begins once the Board approves an applicant for the exam. Which statement is correct regarding this status?

The status of a licensure applicant cannot be renewed. Once the Board approves an applicant for the exam, they enter a specific phase in the licensing process, which does not allow for an extension or renewal of that applicant status. This means that if the candidate does not pass the exam or fails to take it within a designated timeframe, they are required to reapply for licensure instead of extending their current status. This structure emphasizes the importance of timely completion of requirements and maintaining a progression toward licensure.
