Kirkwood Test Center's refund procedure applies only to proctoring fees paid via RegisterBlast. Exam fees paid outside of RegisterBlast go to the exam sponsor or program. For a refund of fees paid outside of RegisterBlast, contact your exam sponsor or program for more information.
If you need to cancel an appointment for which you have paid a proctoring fee in RegisterBlast, please contact the Test Center. We will refund 50% of your proctoring fee if you cancel up to the day before your appointment. If you cancel the day of your exam or you miss your appointment, your proctoring fee is non-refundable.
Don't pay twice if you don't have to! In most cases, we are happy to reschedule your exam to another day (subject to availability) to avoid forfeiture of your proctoring fee.
