ACZM POLICIES ON EXAMINATION FEE REFUNDS AND EXAMINATION DEFERMENT

All candidates must take the examination either during the year of application or the year directly following application unless hardship is considered the primary reason for further examination deferment. Within thirty (30) days of being notified of successful credentialing, a candidate must notify the Secretary in writing which year the candidate
will sit the examination (year of application or year directly following application). If a candidate gives notification to sit the examination in a given year and then withdraws with no clear demonstration of hardship, they will forfeit the examination fee and be required to pay the examination fee again for the year that they will sit the examination. Hardship is defined as illness in the candidate or major illness or death in the immediate family of the candidate.
Deferment is defined as allowing the candidate to sit the examination at the next offering of the examination. Should a candidate that defers fail to sit the second opportunity, the examination fee is forfeit. There is no time limit for a candidate that withdraws without deferment. They may
sit the examination at any time but will pay a new fee for that opportunity.
