Take One!

  1. How do I submit my withdrawal request?
  2. Can I withdraw from Take One! and request a refund?
  3. What if I can't complete my Take One! entry by the submittal deadline?
  4. I became a participant in Take One! during the 2008-2009 cycle and had to defer to the 2009-2010 cycle. When I returned to class this school year, my teaching assignment changed and my students are in a different age group. Can I change my certificate choice after deferring? If so, what is my deadline?



  1. How do I submit my withdrawal request?
  2. Login to My Profile, select Status, and scroll to the bottom of the page. You will see a question that begins "Do you need to ...." with a link beneath it that asks "Withdraw your application?" If you complete and submit this form, you are immediately withdrawn.

     

    You may also submit an online written inquiry through Ask NBPTS (within My Profile under My Inbox). A request submitted this way will be processed within three to five business days.

     

    As an alternative, you may complete the Withdrawal Form included in your portfolio kit and submit it to NBPTS in one of the following ways:

    • Mail: NBPTS Processing Center
      11827 Tech Com, Suite 200
      San Antonio, Texas 78233
    • Fax: 888-811-3514

     


  3. Can I withdraw from Take One! and request a refund?
  4. NBPTS will accept withdrawal requests from the time a participant applies until the entry submittal deadline.

    To withdraw and receive a partial refund, you must submit the Take One! Withdrawal Form to NBPTS within 60 days of the order date. The refund excludes the nonrefundable materials fee of $100. If you make a withdrawal request after the 60-day limit, you will not be subject to a refund.


  5. What if I can't complete my Take One! entry by the submittal deadline?
  6. If you are unable to complete your entry by the deadline, you have the option to defer. Through the deferral process you can extend your  deadline and score release date by one year.

    If you choose to defer, you must notify NBPTS of your decision before the material entry submission deadline of April 15.

  8. Yes, you can change your certificate as long as you submit your request for change and the $75 change fee by January 31st of the year your entry is due, in this case 2010.
