OAR 809-040-0023: Withdrawal from Examination or Rescheduling Examination

(1) A candidate can request in writing to withdraw an application to take an examination but forfeits the application fee paid to the Board. (2) For application withdrawal, the following restrictions also apply: (a) For the engineering geologist examination, the examination fee paid to the Board is refundable only when authorized and approved by the Board or its designee in its sole discretion under OAR 809-040-0030. Any refund will be of the examination fee only, as the application fee is non-refundable. A written request for refund is required. If such request is received after the examination administration date, the refund may only be approved by the Board or its designee, acting in its sole discretion, if the candidate provides adequate information explaining the failure to show and reason for not timely requesting to withdraw from the administration. (b) For the national examination, the candidate is subject to the policies of the ASBOG testing vendor for withdrawing from examination, including any restrictions on refund of examination fees paid via the testing vendor and any processing fee charged by the test vendor. (3) After Board approval is granted to take an examination or examination section, a candidate may request rescheduling to a later examination administration or request to retake a failed examination via a resubmittal application. The candidate’s resubmittal application for purposes of rescheduling or retaking examination must be received in the Board office by the Board’s resubmittal application deadline in OAR 809-040-0001(3). The examination resubmittal fee set in OAR 809-010-0001 applies.
