Current through July 10, 2024
(a) The Committee
				shall accept for consideration each complete application to take a
				comprehensive examination. An application shall be deemed complete if the
				applicant submits all required supporting documentation and pays the
				application fee on or prior to the filing deadline. Said deadline shall be four
				(4) weeks prior to the date on which each such examination is scheduled to be
				held.
(b) The comprehensive
				examination application fee shall be subject to annual review by the Committee
				and may be increased or decreased to reflect costs incurred or expected,
				provided the annual increase shall not exceed ten (10) dollars. In no event
				shall the application fee exceed fifty (50) dollars.
(c) The Committee shall meet, not later than
				three (3) weeks prior to the date on which a comprehensive examination is
				scheduled to be held, to consider each complete application to take such
				examination. The Committee may grant or deny an applicant's request for
				entrance to such examinations. Each person whose application is approved shall
				be sent written notification of such approval by the Committee chair, within
				one (1) week of the adjournment of said meeting. If the Committee determines
				that an applicant does not meet the necessary criteria for entrance to a
				comprehensive examination, the Committee chair shall send written notification
				of such denial to the applicant, within two (2) days of the adjournment of said
				meeting. Such notice shall be sent by courier service and shall include
				information as to how the applicant may request a reconsideration of said
				denial. The Committee shall also return or refund the application fee paid by
				any applicant whose entrance to take a comprehensive examination is
				denied.
(d) A person whose
				application to take a comprehensive examination is denied may file a written
				request for a reconsideration of the Committee's decision. Any such request
				shall include the reason(s) why the appellant believes he or she should be
				allowed to take said examination. Such request shall be sent by courier service
				to the Committee chair, within seven (7) days of the date of the notice of
				denial. The Committee shall meet within seven (7) days of receiving such
				request, for the purpose of reconsidering its decision.
(e) The Committee may require the appellant
				to appear at said meeting to answer any pertinent questions or to supply any
				additional information that may be required, provided he or she shall be given
				not less than forty-eight (48) hours notice of the requirement to appear. The
				Committee's decision with regard to any such reconsideration shall be final.
				The Committee chair shall notify the appellant of such decision in writing,
				within two (2) days of the adjournment of said meeting.
(f) A person who receives a failing grade on
				a comprehensive examination may be approved by the Committee for entrance to
				the next such scheduled examination, upon making application therefor. If a
				failing grade is received on said second examination, such person shall not be
				approved for entrance to a subsequent comprehensive examination, until he or
				she can demonstrate that any course(s) as may have been specified by the
				Committee have been successfully taken or retaken.
