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 that can be used without the entry of a personal identification number (PIN). Bank cards without a VISA or MasterCard logo cannot be accepted. If you register for a paper-based test, the merchant name that will appear on your credit card statement is "Eval Systems Test Fee." If you register for a computer-based test, the merchant name will be "VUE*Online Testing."
The fees for registration by U.S. mail must be paid by personal check (for Regular Administrations only; personal checks are not accepted for Supplemental Administrations), cashier’s check, money order, or credit or debit card (VISA or MasterCard only). Charges for a duplicate score report, a handscoring of a test, or the score verification service must be paid by personal check, cashier’s check, or money order. Checks and money orders should be made payable to National Evaluation Systems in U.S. dollars. Please write your current address and telephone number on your payment. Do not send cash.
If you think you have failed a paper-based test and the score report date is after the registration deadline for the next administration, you may register for the next administration before receiving your score report by submitting an additional registration. Then, if you pass the test at the first administration, you may request a refund for your additional registration. You must, however, follow the directions in "Changing Your Registration" (see "Refunds").
If, for any reason, your payment for a test date or test service does not clear (for example, if your personal check is returned by the bank or if you dispute a credit card charge), you will have an outstanding balance with NES. In this case
Additionally, if a personal check submitted by you is returned by the bank, you will not be allowed to make any future payments by personal check.
If you have any outstanding balance owed by you to NES 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 with NES 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 NES after providing payment to confirm that your payment has been received and your account is clear.
The following additional policies apply to you when you have an outstanding balance with NES:
Any credits or refunds for which you may be eligible will be applied first to your outstanding debt, with any excess to be returned to you.
