The Advisory Evaluation is offered as an optional service. An Advisory Evaluation will identify any academic deficiencies in your education before you submit a first-time application for the Uniform CPA Examination. You will not receive a Notice to Schedule (NTS) after your Advisory Evaluation application is complete. You will need to submit a first-time application for the Examination in order to receive your NTS. If you choose to request an Advisory Evaluation, you cannot submit a first-time application for the Examination until the Advisory Evaluation is complete.
