Section 10:15-18-11 - Requests for extension of time

(a) A candidate may apply for an extension of the time limits set by this Subchapter if the candidate is called to active military service, becomes incapacitated as a result of illness or injury, or experiences another significant event beyond the candidate's control.

(b) The candidate shall file a written request with the Board for an extension.

(1) If requesting an extension because of a call to active military service, after receiving the call the candidate shall furnish a copy of the orders to active military service to the Board.

(2) If requesting an extension because of illness or injury, furnish written evidence of incapacitation or injury to the Board along with the written extension request. The candidate shall furnish a copy of an original and signed diagnosis directly related to the injury or illness from a licensed, qualified physician. The professional must provide a precise statement setting forth the determination that the illness or injury precludes the candidate from testing and the time period involved. The Board will follow federal Health Insurance portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) guidelines.

(3) If requesting an extension because of a significant event beyond the candidate's control, the candidate must outline the circumstances, how this will prevent them from successfully testing, and any measures the candidate has or will take to attempt to overcome the obstacle to testing. In this narrative the candidate must demonstrate the circumstances were beyond the candidate's control.

(c) Within sixty (60) calendar days after the candidate is discharged from active military service, the candidate shall furnish the Board with copies of the discharge orders. The candidate shall be required to take one (1) test section for which the candidate is eligible within the next six (6) months following the resolution of the circumstances which prevented the candidate from testing.
