Student Instructions — Timelines and Procedures for Registration Eligibility
Student Exit PacketAt the conclusion of your supervised practice or didactic program, your program director will provide you with online and hard-copy forms that are to be completed and returned to them so they can initiate the eligibility application process with CDR.

Registration Eligibility Processing System (REPS)Once your program director has verified that you have completed all of the academic and supervised practice requirements for eligibility, they will submit your information to CDR via REPS. You will then receive an email requesting that you complete an online application form. Until you have completed this step, you will NOT be processed for registration eligibility, nor will you be able to schedule your examination. Please note, if the name on your valid, government-issued, photo ID does not match CDR and Pearson VUE’s systems, you will be turned away from the testing center and lose your examination fee. Contact your program director if they have entered your name in REPS incorrectly. |
Timelines and ProceduresThe normal processing time for a candidate submission is a week. Once your application has been approved, you will receive an email confirming your registration eligibility from CDR and an Authorization to Test email from CDR’s testing vendor Pearson VUE within 48 hours. The Authorization to Test email, which expires one year from the date of issuance, includes a link to the Handbook for Candidates—for RDs and for DTRs—with information on setting up an account on Pearson VUE’s website. |
