How to withdraw
Candidates who wish to withdraw from an examination must do so via the online withdrawals form.
After withdrawing via the online form, all candidates will receive a confirmation email. Candidates must ensure that they receive this confirmation to ensure the withdrawal has been successfully processed. If it is not received within 24 hours please email examinations@surgeons.org.
A member of the Examinations Department will then be in contact within three working days to confirm the refund entitlement.
Refund entitlements
Candidates are advised to see the relevant examination policy for full details of withdrawal refund entitlements. The refund amount will be dependant upon the timing of and reason for withdrawal.
Candidates who do not formally notify the Examinations Department of their withdrawal prior via the online form will forfeit their refund entitlement.
A candidate will not be refunded any part of the examination fee if prevented from participating in the examination as a result of cheating or taking prohibited equipment or materials into an examination room.
Can I transfer my registration to another examination?
No. Neither the policy or the online registration system permits the transfer of candidates from one examination to another.
If candidates wish to sit the examination at a later date they must withdraw from the sitting they are currently registered for and then re-apply during the appropriate opening and closing dates via the online registration form.
