Important Change to the Clinical Skills Examination (CSE) Equipment that Candidates Must Supply
- View Now

Candidates may request to transfer their registration from one test center to another at no charge. However, such transfers must be received in writing NO LATER THAN the registration deadline.

For the Clinical Skills section, the only acceptable reasons for rescheduling are conflicts with religious observances or with dates of a state board examination. Such rescheduling is dependent upon available openings. Candidates should email their special request for the Clinical Skills exam after submitting their registration. These requests must be received NO LATER THAN the registration deadline. The National Board will try to meet these special requests, but cannot promise that the request can be met.

The National Board reserves the right to add or cancel a test center at any time. Should a center be canceled, registrants at the center will be reassigned to the nearest available center.

These requests will be reviewed, subject to availability of test center space. Requesting candidates will be notified of the outcome of this review. The request should be emailed to nbeo@optometry.org and include:

  • Name
  • SSN (last 4-digits only)
  • Examination
  • Current site assigned
  • Requested site to be assigned
  • A note that you are requesting to transfer exam centers
