Candidates who did not pass the NDAEB Written and/or the Clinical Practice Evaluation (CPE) have the right to appeal their results. Requests for an appeal will only be heard if the request is based on one or more of the following grounds for appeal:

• Procedural grounds
• Environmental grounds
• Personal grounds

To initiate this process, follow these steps:

1. Appeal Request: Complete and submit the “Appeal Request” online through the NDAEB website within 30 days of receiving the results letter.
2. Payment: Ensure payment is made using a valid credit card along with the submission of the form.

The NDAEB Appeals Committee rules on all appeals. Successful appeals will NOT result in the issuing of the NDAEB Certificate or a change in the score but may result in a rewrite at no cost to the candidate at the next available
exam sitting. In such cases, the exam score in question may be expunged from the candidate’s file. All decisions by the Appeals Committee are final and will not be revisited.

Please allow 5-7 business days to receive the official reply after the appeal request is submitted.

If your appeal request is not based on acceptable grounds for appeal – procedural, environmental, and/or personal – your appeal will not be submitted to the NDAEB Appeals Committee and only the Appeal Fee of $210 will be refunded to the credit card used for payment.  The Appeal Application Fee of $50 will not be refunded.

If your appeal request is based on one of the acceptable grounds for appeal – procedural, environmental, and/or personal – but the NDAEB Appeals Committee rules against your appeal, no refund will be issued.

If your appeal is is based on one of the acceptable grounds for appeal – procedural, environmental, and/or personal – and the NDAEB Appeals Committee approves your appeal, the Appeal Fee ($210) and the Appeal Application Fee ($50) will be refunded to the credit card used for payment.

Credit card processing fees charged at time of payment are non-refundable under all circumstances.
