They are allowed to take the Fundamentals of Surveying (FS) Exam during their last semester at UACCM. Passage of the FS exam and completion of the degree earns licensure as a Surveyor Intern. After two years of Board approved experience, graduates are allowed to take the Principles and Practice of Surveying Exam. Passage of the Principles and Practice of Surveying (PPS) exam is the final step in the process of becoming a Professional Surveyor. | ||||
