First-Time Examinees

You are considered to be a first-time examinee if you are an applicant who has never received approval from the Virginia Board, or if you have lost your exam eligibility and must reapply to the Board.

1. All applicants must be approved by the Board. First-time applicants must contact the Board for application information. If approved, proceed to the next step.
2. All applicants must register online with NCEES by the registration deadline. This deadline is strictly enforced; NO EXCEPTIONS. Only Board-approved applicants proceed to the next step.
3. Shortly after registration is completed with NCEES, applicants will receive an email from PCS with a link to schedule and pay PCS for the exam.  If you do not receive an email in your Inbox, please check your Spam or Junk folder before emailing your PCS coordinator for the link.  Exams must be scheduled and paid for by the scheduling deadline.

Re-Exam Examinees

You are considered to be a re-exam examinee if you are an applicant who has already received approval from the Virginia Board and your exam eligibility has not expired. Remember, you are exam-eligible for three years from the date the Board approved you for the exam.
