Current July Part III/PHT Administration Updates:

Texas Chiropractic College – Pasadena, TX campus test site only.  SATURDAY, July 17 and SUNDAY, July 18, exams  CANCELLED*……rescheduled to Saturday, July 31, and Sunday, August 1, 2021

*Due to the recent storms causing a power and internet outage at the TCC campus test site, we regret to announce that the Saturday, July 17, 2021 and Sunday, July 18, 2021 Part III/PHT Exam administrations at the TCC test site has been cancelled. In order to minimize the impact on your career as a Chiropractor, we are offering a special re-administration on Saturday, July 31, 2021 and Sunday August 1, 2021. Next Steps: If you would like to test in the July 31/August 1 re-administration, you do not need to do anything at this time. Your exam appointment will automatically be moved to that administration. If you prefer, you may reschedule your appointment to a regularly scheduled future administration by emailing us at support@nbce.org with your request to withdraw from the exam and whether you want to apply your fees to the future administration or receive a refund. Please note, if you withdraw from this exam you will not be eligible to test in the special re-administration.

COVID-19 Updates

The NBCE is actively monitoring Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) concerns for all test sites. As COVID-19 continues to be a concern within the United States and around the world, our first priority is the safety of testing candidates and our staff who administer the exams. We balance this with our sense of responsibility to facilitate your journey towards licensure, and an understanding of the negative impact exam cancellations can have on our examinees. The NBCE does not want to hinder your ability to progress towards licensure, so we will continue to work towards administering the scheduled exams. Unfortunately, the reality of our current situation may require us to cancel an exam with minimal notice. Before leaving for your scheduled exam, we recommend following the links below to access information about closures or other exam specific updates. Please note, if you plan to test at a location that is outside your local community, it is your responsibility to use extreme caution and judgement before deciding to travel to a test administration. Please do not travel if you are sick and follow local guidelines regarding travel and social distancing protocols.

A list of general guidance and links to additional resources regarding travel can be found here: NBCE Travel Advisory Notice
