An applicant for a provisional license shall file a written application with the board, submit
any fees required by the board, complete a criminal history background check if requested by

practice requirements during the five-year period after completion of the academic and
supervised practice requirements specified under subdivisions a and b of subsection 1 of
section 43-44-07 or subdivision a of subsection 1 of section 43-44-08. A provisional license must
be available to an applicant with the applicant's initial application for examination and the
applicant may practice only under the supervision of a licensed registered dietitian or a licensed
nutritionist who meets requirements under subsection 1 of section 43-44-07. A provisional
license expires automatically upon receiving notice of failure of the licensure examination but
may be renewed a maximum of one time until the date of the next examination, at which time
the provisional license automatically expires and must be surrendered to the board.
