Appointment Changes

Appointment Rescheduling
Candidates can reschedule examination appointments as often as they wish within their testing window. Testing windows, however, cannot be changed. Testing center seats fill up quickly, so be sure to reschedule as early as possible during the testing window. IEEE ComSoc shares the Prometric testing centers with many other organizations, so reschedule your appointment as soon as possible.

There is no charge for rescheduling examination appointments but this must be done no later than 12:00 noon (Regional Contact Center time) five (5) business days before the scheduled examination. Candidates who do not reschedule examination appointments within that time frame and who do not appear to take the examination will be considered no-show candidates and will forfeit all fees. Candidates who attempt to reschedule their examination appointment late in the testing window cannot be guaranteed that a seat will be available and risk forfeiting the examination fee.  If this occurs, candidates must withdraw from the examination and apply for a 50% refund (US$177.50 for IEEE and IEEE ComSoc members and US$202.50 for nonmembers) of their examination fee (see the "Withdrawals" and "Refunds" sections in this handbook) in order to not be considered no-show candidates. The US$95 application fee is nonrefundable. To reschedule your appointment, contact Prometric at www.prometric.com/wcet, call the number listed in your Authorization to Schedule notice, or contact your Prometric Regional Contact Center.

Testing Center Changes 
Candidates can change their testing center location; however, doing so will cancel their previously scheduled appointment. Candidates who attempt to change their testing center after the opening of the testing window may not be able to reschedule at a time and test location of their choice. In rare instances, candidates who attempt to change their testing center late in the testing window may find that they are unable to schedule at the new location. If this occurs, candidates may withdraw from the examination and apply for a 50% refund (US$177.50 for IEEE and IEEE ComSoc members and US$202.50 for nonmembers) of their examination fee (see the "Withdrawals" and "Refunds" sections in this handbook). The US$95 application fee is nonrefundable. To change testing centers, contact Prometric at www.prometric.com/wcet, call the number listed on your Authorization to Schedule notice, or contact your Prometric Regional Contact Center.
