Section 16.25.2.12 - SENIOR STUDENTS AND NEW GRADUATES

If a senior student or new graduate's veterinary school has not yet provided the diploma by the applicant's examination date, a properly authenticated document such as a letter from the veterinary school dean evidencing graduation or impending graduation may temporarily substitute for the diploma. This provision is only for the purpose of taking the examination; the notarized diploma must be provided the soonest time it becomes available. The applicant cannot become licensed until all required documents, including the notarized copy of the diploma and the official transcript are received by the board.
