Change to ITE Order Policy

All changes to In-Training Examination orders must be submitted via the ABS program portal. Change requests submitted by email or phone will not be processed.

The ABS has instituted the following policy in order to provide adequate processing time for ABS to modify your program’s In-Training Examination (ABSITE, VSITE, PSITE) order and to transmit updated exam information to our exam vendor:

  • A minimum of two business days are required to process a change order.
  • No same day changes will be accepted at any time, including during or immediately prior to the examination window.
    • Deadlines for changes to submitted exam orders can be found in the ITE announcement email and in the ABS program portal.
  • A $350 change fee will be assessed for each change requested following the order deadline.
  • All changes to orders must be submitted via the ABS program portal. Change requests submitted by email or phone will not be processed.
