The state may refuse to grant a license if a student has been convicted of a crime; committed any act involving dishonesty, fraud, or deceit; or committed any act that, if committed by a licentiate of the business or profession in question, would be grounds for the Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing to deny licensure. The Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services provides for prospective students an application for predetermination to obtain licensure. An individual may apply to the Department for a determination of whether the individual would be disqualified from obtaining the credential due to his or her conviction record. You may refer to the website for the State of Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services to complete the necessary forms needed for a predetermination for approval to obtain licensure. The Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing denies licensure on the grounds that the applicant knowingly made a false statement of fact required to be revealed in the application for such license. Students who are not U.S. citizens or who do not have documented authority to work in the United States will not be eligible to apply to take the state licensure examination.
