Surveyor Applicants: Revised 32-Hour Coursework Checklist
Education is a key component of the registration process for becoming a Surveyor-In-Training (SIT) and a Registered Professional Land Surveyor (RPLS). To assist applicants and reviewers in verifying that coursework is appropriate to meet the educational standards, the Board has reviewed and revised the current coursework checklist. At the August 2024 Board Meeting, TBPELS approved amending Board Rule 134.31 to adjust and modernize the 32 hour educational requirements. This new checklist requirement will be in effect starting JANUARY 1, 2026, and will impact all new SIT and RPLS applicants that submit applications after that date.
