Oh shoot, really? You have to resubmit the application to retake? Do you need to gather references again?
I have a question related to the Laws and Regulations exam. I submitted my application together with Laws and Regulation as a package in paper format and was approved for the exams. Just finished taking Surveying exam. I did not see anything related to Laws and Regulation exam through the Connect system. Does that mean that I have passed the Laws and Regulations exam?
If you don't pass in the 3rd month, you would have to resubmit application and it would take a while for approval. Wouldn't this affect your plan of taking one exam in 1st month and another exam in 2nd month?
I bough Hiner's review book from someone else on this forum. However, I don't see there's a cheatsheet. Anyone knows if the cheatsheet is helpful? If it is helpful then I might need to purchase the workbook again straight from Hiner to get the cheatsheet.
I'm not sure if it's the same process of not passing, but I ended up not taking the seismic exam in the quarter that I initially got approved to take it in. I just had to wait for my original testing quarter to end and pay another fee to test again.
If you submitted the application and R&R exam and then got approved to take the state-specific tests, then that should mean that you passed the R&R.
I believe Hiner's cheatsheet only comes with the course. I bought the book directly from the website and it did not come with a cheatsheet.
If you submitted a paper application, you will continue as a legacy applicant and will not need to use Connect for anything except scheduling the state exams. If you did not pass the Laws & Rules exam, your Evaluator will notify you.
If you do not pass one or both of the state exams, you do not need to submit a new application for licensure to receive authorization to test again. You will submit a ReExam Request through the BPELSG Connect system: Re-Examination Information - Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists.
Results are sent out the month following when you sat for the exam. If you do not pass, you will need to submit a ReExam Request through BPELSG Connect. The testing quarters have remained the same; however, it is now the applicant’s responsibility to log into their BPELSG Connect account and select the quarter they’d like to sit before that quarter is no longer available.
Dangit, civil application got flagged for a deficiency - missing transcript. I called prior to submitting my application and was told that I didn't need to since I sent one already for my initial mechanical license and it should be on file. Buuut, since I applied prior to the rollout of the Connect platform, it's sitting in an archive somewhere so it was best to send a transcript again. $11 bucks for a PDF! No action needed, just blowing off steam again.
Another option for those needing to request official transcripts for multiple applications - request that your university/college send an official transcript to your MyNCEES account. State licensing boards can access the transcripts in your MyNCEES account.Dangit, civil application got flagged for a deficiency - missing transcript.

Dang, NCEES already has all my transcripts. BPELSG didn't give me the option for them to access my transcipts in MyNCEES. Oh well...
Note that the only way for the California Board to view your transcripts through the NCEES system is if you have an NCEES Record and if you authorize NCEES to send the Record to the California Board.
Update: I've recently learned that transcripts are now available in the NCEES system to boards in more ways than just through the Record process. Too many things changing and difficult to keep up.
Thank you for the update, it would have been handy to have been given that option when the deficiency was flagged in Connect. The language made it seem like official transcripts from the school was the only option. $11 for a PDF? I want my $11 back!
