The non-refundable exam fee for procuring, administering and grading the examination or reexamination shall be remitted with the “Notice of Intention” when the applicant schedules for examination or reexamination.

(C) Make all checks payable to: “Treasurer, State of Ohio” and submit to the board office.

(D) If an applicant is not eligible or does not schedule for the applied examination, the application fee will be retained to cover the cost of processing the application.

(E) An applicant shall be considered scheduled for an examination upon receipt by the board of the applicant’s notice of intention or the dean’s statement letter. The examination fee shall not be returned after the applicant is scheduled for examination.

(F) Unless otherwise stipulated by the board the payment of the registration fee will constitute payment of the license fee for the remainder of the licensing period in which the certificate of registration was issued. Upon successfully passing both examinations a certificate of registration will be issued by the board authorizing applicant to practice as a professional engineer or professional surveyor.

(G) A renewal fee for all certificates of registration is due and payable on or before December thirty-first of each licensing period for the ensuing licensing period (See section 4733.15 of the Revised Code).

(H) If a registrant fails to renew a certificate of registration by December thirty-first of the licensing period, the fee to be paid for renewal after December thirty first, but within the following twelve months, shall be increased by fifty percent. A registrant who fails to renew a certificate of registration for a period greater than twelve months shall be assessed a reinstatement fee which shall equal the number of renewal fees that have not been paid multiplied by three times the current renewal fee.

(I) As permitted by the provisions of section 4733.15 of the Revised Code, the board may upon request waive the payment of the renewal fees of a registrant during the time the registrant is on active duty in connection with any branch of the armed forces of the United States.
