The website isn't clear what exactly you need to do in order to renew your record. In particular they dont tell you what the reference update form entails. "Reference Update form(s)*: Distribute to your reference. He/she must complete the form and send directly to NCEES." Does this mean you have to recontact ALL your reference every year? Please clarify.
As I understand it once you submit your application, they review it for completeness then assign a number to your record. NCEES will send you the forms to send to references and something for your transcripts. You can't do any of these things until your initial application is approved and a number assigned
I chose to do the online application thinking that maybe it would streamline the process however I'm about 3.5 weeks into it and still haven't recieved my forms to send to references and request transcripts.
No problem. I probably should have put a smilie or something. Looking back at my response, it appears a little smart-assish.....
But what they don't tell you on the website is that it is an exercise in handwriting futility. I can't believe that electronic versions of these forms can't be provided. I received my package yesterday to find blank paper copies to be filled out and sent to references and to request transcripts and pre addressed envelopes for information to be sent back to NCEES. I figured this would be the easiest part of the process considering I have already filled out the application with all of my information and seeing how long it took to get the paperwork back to me I kind of assumed they would take the information I provided and input it onto the forms and have me mail it out for verification or at least have my basic information already on there.No problem. I probably should have put a smilie or something. Looking back at my response, it appears a little smart-assish.....
