Can I defer my Knowledge Assessment?

The Knowledge Assessment is administered by an external vendor and is only available once per year during the month of May. It cannot be completed outside of this period. You may request a one-time deferral to the following session (i.e., the following May), which may be granted on a case-by-case basis for the following reasons:

  • Medical circumstances, with supporting documentation
  • Parental leave (maternity, paternity, or parental), with an expected return date
  • Pre-booked travel, with supporting documentation and return date
  • Conflicts with academic or professional exams/courses, with supporting documentation
  • Other major, unexpected, or extenuating circumstances, considered on a case-by-case basis

Any second or subsequent deferral requests must include supporting documentation and will be referred to the Quality Assurance Committee for review and decision.

To request a deferral, please email [email protected].
