My Profile and Extended Deadlines

Good morning,

As you prepare for a much deserved holiday break we wanted to pass on some information we received from NBPTS yesterday.  The information concerns My Profile account and extended application and payment deadlines.  We hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

From NBPTS:

Good afternoon,

I’m writing to let you know we’ll be undertaking system maintenance in My Profile beginning today, December 18. Due to this maintenance, candidate applications and online payments will not be accepted for approximately three weeks. To compensate for this, we’ve adjusted our 2013-2014 deadlines as follows:

Program	Published Submission Deadline	New Submission Deadline
First-time Candidate Application & Initial Payment	December 31, 2013	February 28, 2014
First-time Candidate Full Payment* & Eligibility Forms	January 31, 2014
Retake Candidate Application & Full Payment
Take One! Application & Full Payment
Renewal Application & Full Payment

 *First-time candidates who select the extended payment option will have until March 15 to submit final payment. 

Candidates can begin working on their 2013-2014 portfolio process now. Instructions and other material are available at http://www.nbpts.org/certificate-areas.
