If, during an examination, you believe you have been prevented from demonstrating your ability due to serious medical circumstances or unanticipated exceptional circumstances beyond your control, you must submit a compassionate appeal to void your result. Upon consideration, the Executive Committee may grant a refund of fees.
If the circumstance beyond your control occurs before the administration of the examination, you must withdraw. Please refer to the NDEB By-laws and Policies for Examinations for more information.
Many examinees experience anxiety prior and during an examination. This is normal. Exam anxiety does not lead to a test accommodation or compassionate appeal. Anxiety must be a diagnosed disorder to warrant accommodation or a compassionate appeal.
For further details, download and read the Compassionate Appeal Policy.
To request a compassionate appeal, submit a request through your NDEBConnect account.
