Retake Fees
If you are taking a test for the first time, you will pay the "first attempt" fee. If you have ever previously taken a test and wish to retake it because you did not pass, for recertification purposes, or to renew your current certification, you must pay the "retake" fee.
For tests with subtests, taking any subtest is considered the "first attempt," even if you did not take all of the available subtests, and you must pay the "retake" fee for any subtests taken at a later date. If you have any questions about fees or calculating the total amount you need to pay to register, please call FTCE/FELE Customer Service at (866) 613-3281 (toll free) or (413) 256-2893.
Payment Methods
The fees for Internet registration must be paid using a credit card (VISA or MasterCard only) or a debit or check card that carries the VISA or MasterCard logo and can be used without the entry of a personal identification number (PIN). The merchant name that will appear on your credit card statement is "VUE*Online Testing."
If you do not have a credit or debit card, contact FTCE/FELE Customer Service at (866) 613-3281 (toll free) or (413) 256-2893.
Charges for a duplicate score report must be paid by personal check, cashier’s check, or money order. Charges for the score verification service must be paid by credit or debit card (VISA or MasterCard only). Checks and money orders should be made payable to Evaluation Systems in U.S. dollars. Please write your current address and telephone number on your payment. Do not send cash.
Payment Policies
If, for any reason, your payment for a test date or test service (excluding purchase of a Test Information Guide) does not clear, you will have an outstanding balance with Evaluation Systems. An outstanding balance may result, for example, if the bank returns your personal check, or reverses a credit/debit card charge (e.g., as a result of insufficient funds or the honoring of a dispute of a charge); in this case
- you will be assessed an additional fee to cover the processing required to clear your account;
- you will not be allowed to register for future test dates until your balance, including the additional fee, is paid in full;
- you must make your payment to clear your account by cashier’s check or money order only, unless you are making a subsequent credit card payment for additional services, in which case your credit card will be billed for both the outstanding balance and the additional requested services.
If a bank returns your personal check, you will not be allowed to make any future payments by personal check.
If you owe any outstanding balance to Evaluation Systems after a test administration for which you were registered, your scores for that test date will not be reported to you, to the Florida Department of Education, or to any institutions until your account has been paid in full. It is your responsibility to ensure that your account is paid in full and all payments have cleared. Any payment received after the test date may delay the reporting of your scores. You may wish to call FTCE/FELE Customer Service after providing payment to confirm that your payment has been received and your account is clear.
The following policies also apply to you when you have an outstanding balance with Evaluation Systems:
- If you attempt to pay for any further services by credit card, your credit card will be billed for the amount of all services you have requested, as well as the outstanding balance owed. You agree to pay for all such services and outstanding balances in the event your credit card company does not.
- If you attempt to pay for any further services by check or money order, any payments received will be applied first to your outstanding debt, with any excess applied to the requested services.
Any credits or refunds for which you may be eligible will be applied first to your outstanding debt; any excess will be returned to you.
