First time poster….hoping you guys can help me answer a question I’ve been stressing about!

I graduated this past May (2013) undergrad, applied for my NTS beginning of June, and passed my first section in July. I also started a masters program in the beginning of June to get 150 hours.

I didn’t send in the “Certificate of Enrollment” because I thought that was applicable if you hadn’t completed undergrad (or 120 hours to sit for the exam), but the website is really confusing and I’m not 100% sure about it. I’m currently enrolled in classes, but it’s to get 150 hours, not 120 hours.

My question is – do you think I should have sent in my NTS? I’m taking the tests in MA, and I have 90 days from passing my first exam to send it in if necessary, which is next week. I’m nervous about this because it says if you are supposed to send it in and you don’t then you will lose credit for exams you passed. I’ve tried calling NASBA but honestly the people that work there couldn’t understand my question. I’m sure there are other people in similar situations…what did you guys do??

I think I just have to mail in my transcripts when I graduate to prove I have 150 hours, but I really don’t know!

Any help you can give me is much appreciated!! Thanks 🙂

@kb…I am not sure NASBA is who you should be directing your question to. I this you should contact your State Board, since they are actually the ones to approve your application to sit for the exam. I also am in a NASBA state (WI), but all questions are directed to my State Board of Accounting. Perhaps someone in the forum from your state could clarify.

AUD- 84
FAR- 75
REG- 78...I am DONE!!!
BEC- 79

Like @Skrier said, these things vary from state to state so I would definitely contact your state board. In KY where I live, you can't even sit without the 150 credits, so I don't know what the requirements are for this Certificate of Enrollment! However, my thought would be that I'd far rather send in paperwork that wasn't needed than to miss something that was needed, so if I was you, I'd contact the state board and if you can't get a clear answer, then send it in anyway!
