Oregon Comity & Early Exam Question

[mahdeenf]

Hi everyone,

As the topic says, I've got question(s) about becoming licensed in Oregon through thier comity process. I haven't been able to find any hard info as to Oregon's position in regard to someone who took and passed the early PE exam in another state. There seems to be a lot of discussion about Oregon SB 297 that indicates they are going to accept comity applications where the applicant took the early exam option. But that's all I've found and there's nothing that says what their position is yet. I was hoping to run across some knowledgable person here who is up on this and who could give an authoritive answer.

Thanks!

Frank

Well, because, this is a place to ask questions - right?

True, but not necessarily board related questions.

Probably best to call the board on this one.

The problem is that the board's opinion on the matter may have changed since the last time the subject came up. It's always better to get the information straight from the source.

I don't disagree with this. I understand how all the nuance ended up in licensing in the US, but I don't really understand why it has never been resolved. Surely we, as a profession, can do better than just create NCEES to manage records and testing, though without them the system would be even more of a fuster-cluck than it already is.

We have a nationally administered test with at least 50 different interpretations of how it is implemented. None of us would get comity if the states set the rules.

Unfortunately with some boards you will get the reply "we do not "pre-approve" ant application for licensure. The applicant must make application to the Board."

Yeah, so they can deny the application and keep the money. Stupid engineers. Bwahahahaha

Curious, what makes you think the states don't set the rules?
