Engineers Applications
Below are explanations of the different pathways for applicants of professional licensure or intern certification.
All applicants that mark they have the NCEES Record and are unable to transmit the NCEES Record will have to rewrite their application which will cause delays to the application process.
Interested in establishing an NCEES Record? An NCEES Record is an easier and faster way to complete the licensure process in multiple jurisdictions.
The Board offers non-tangible, irrevocable goods, and therefore does not issue refunds once monies have been submitted to the agency.
Application Review for all applicants without an NCEES Record transmittal will be at the next quarterly Board meeting (deadlines set and listed on the front page under important dates).
