NEW EXAMINATION PROCEDURES FOR FE/PE AND FS/PS
The Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing has contracted with NCEES, to begin administering the FE, PE, FS, and PS examinations beginning with the October 2006 examinations. Applicants will continue to apply to the Division for eligibility to sit for the exams, and after being approved by the board the approved candidate's name will be submitted to NCEES. Candidates will then be required to register for the exam at the NCEES website: www.ncees.org
EXAMINATION FEES: The Division will not be collecting examination fees. Examination fees will be paid directly to NCEES. The Division will continue to require payment of a $50 non-refundable application fee.
EXAMINATION APPLICATION DEADLINE: The completed application, application fee and all supporting documents must be received by the Division's Juneau office at least 10 days prior to each scheduled meeting of the Board.
