By what date must a hardship application be submitted to the board?

The correct submission date for a hardship application to the board is December 15th. This deadline is established to ensure that all applications are processed in a timely manner, allowing the board to carefully consider each case before the start of the next calendar year. Submitting by this date guarantees that applicants will receive a decision on their request before any crucial deadlines or events that may affect their licensure or practice status. Therefore, adhering to this timeline is essential for those who are seeking accommodations due to specific difficulties or challenges they face.
