POLICY
When a candidate's

If a candidate withdraws within ten

examination fee. On reapplying, such candidates will be required to again submit
the examination fee in effect at the time of the application. Candidates must
notify the Board office in writing regarding all withdrawals from examination; a
withdrawal will not be accepted by telephone.
