How to withdraw from an exam
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 3 working days to confirm the refund entitlement.
Withdrawal 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 the withdrawal.
Candidates who do not formally notify the Examinations
Department of their withdrawal via the online form will forfeit the
entire examination fee.
A candidate will not be refunded any part of the examination fee
if he/she is prevented from participating in the examination as a
result of taking prohibited equipment or materials into an
examination room or cheating.
Can I transfer my registration to another exam?
No, the online registration system does not permit the transfer
of candidates from one exam to another.
If candidates wish to sit the exam at a later date they must
withdraw from the exam they are currently registered for and then
re-apply (during the apprioriate opening
& closing dates) via the online registration
form for the later exam.
