LBOPG officially launched its online payment portal, which provides applicants and licensees with a convenient option to pay fees online. The online option allows payment for license applications, Geoscientist-In-Training (GIT) certifications, license renewals, and a variety of other services. A convenience fee of $5 will be added to each transaction to defray the administrative cost of offering this option.
Currently, the portal will accept all major credit cards, including American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and VISA.
Reminders and Updates:
• ASBOG exam deadlines: Applicants who plan to take one or both of the ASBOG exams in March 2018 must have completed their applications and submitted them for review by the board no later than December 31, 2017. Approved candidates will be notified by the board in early January and will receive an examination request form that must be sent directly to ASBOG with payment for the requested exam(s) by January 30, 2018.
• License renewals: Acknowledgment letters are sent to licensees approximately six weeks prior to the license expiration date. If you do not receive a letter, please contact us at 225-505-3766 or apply@lbopg.org. While we would prefer to receive your renewal before the license expires, we understand that extenuating circumstances do arise. The license renewal expiration, therefore, has a 60-day grace period built into the official rules.
