Geologist Applicants

ATTENTION ASBOG EXAM TAKERS: The first Computer Based Test (CBT) exams will be administered on March 17, 2023, at which point paper and pencil exams will no longer be offered.  Also, please keep in mind that ASBOG will not be able to carry over any examination deferrals into 2023. There are still some candidates who have continued to defer since spring 2020; those candidates need to know that if they do not sit for the exam(s) this year, they will forfeit their exam fee.
