GENERAL PROVISIONS

  • The application and experience record as filled out and submitted by an applicant for registration is an important document. The Board analysis of the applicant's experience record is based not only on the duration of the time spent in professional work of a responsible character, but also on the importance and nature of the work. The applicant is encouraged to provide a complete and accurate record as possible.
  • The Board shall notify the applicant of the date, place and time of the examination along with any information available for the distribution to the examinees received by the Board from NCEES, NCARB and/or CBPELS at least thirty (30) days from the date of examination.
  • The applicant shall notify the Board whether or not he will appear for the examination within thirty (30) days after receipt of notification of assignment to an exam.
  • The Board shall rely on the pass point criteria as developed and used by the NCEES, NCARB and CBPELS in evaluating examination scores.
