Examination Eligibility Verification Report (EEV)

The Examination Eligibility Verification Report (EEV) is a tool provided by the American Society for Clinical Pathology Board of Certification (ASCP BOC). This tool allows program directors of NAACLS, CAAHEP, and ABHES-accredited laboratory professional programs to electronically verify students’ program completion.

Applicants will appear on your EEV for program verification within 24 hours of a paid application being submitted. You will receive an automated email when a student's application is marked "Eligible," prompting you to log into your ASCP account to review the EEV. You may log in to your account at any time to access the EEV.

You must confirm each student's successful completion of your program before they can schedule their examination date. Students will receive their Admission Notification, and be able to schedule their examination appointment, within 48 hours of their program director verifying their successful completion through the EEV. The eligibility window for testing begins once program completion is verified. If students apply before completing their program, their eligibility to test starts the day after their program completion date.


Don’t Verify Eligibility too early

Please do not verify a student’s eligibility until both you and they are confident that they will successfully complete all program requirements by the date they indicated on their application, which appears on your EEV. This includes clinical requirements and final examinations. Students should not apply earlier than six weeks before program completion.

If you have already signed off on a student’s eligibility and have since learned they will not complete their program by the date indicated, please immediately email us at PDInfo@ascp.org.

 

EEV Completion and Transcript Submission

Signing off on a student's eligibility through the EEV verifies that they have successfully completed all components of your program. We do not need a program transcript to be submitted to verify completion of your program.

Students must also have an official transcript sent directly from their educational institution to the ASCP BOC to verify that they have met the academic requirements.

 

Accessing Your EEV Report

  1. Log in to your ASCP account at www.ascp.org/login 
  1. Under "Management Tools" choose "Examination Eligibility Verification" (Please note that you will only see this option if you have students waiting to be verified) 
  1. Click the top link to view pending examination eligibility requests 
  1. If you only see an option to view EEV archives, there are no pending requests 

 

Completing an EEV Report

Applications are processed individually, not as school groups; therefore, not all students will appear on your EEV at the same time.

  • Review the EEV report for accuracy:
    • student’s full name
    • certification category
    • program end date
  • If all information is accurate, select "Eligible"
  • Follow the instructions to send an email to the BOC if:
    • a particular student is not listed
    • you do not recognize a student listed

Important: do not mark the student as “ineligible” as this will delete the student’s application

  • If you see a student's name from a previous class on your EEV, proceed with the standard review process. Students from accredited programs are eligible to sit for an examination for five years after program completion.

 

Program End Date vs. Graduation Date

Students from accredited programs may schedule and take their ASCP BOC examination once before their official transcript has been received and processed by the ASCP BOC office. Therefore, they should enter their program end date, which may differ from their official graduation date, on their online application.  

 

Incorrect Program End Date 

 If the program end date is incorrect, do not select anything from the dropdown menu. Click on “Incorrect Date?” to send an email with the correct information to the ASCP BOC. 

  • If the program end date entered by the student is up to one week after their actual end date, do not request that it be changed.  
  • If you have submitted a change in program completion date to the ASCP BOC, allow up to 5 business days for the change to be made.  

You will need to log back in to the EEV to verify the corrected date. Please note that you will not receive an email alert when the program end date is updated.

 

EEV Archive

 You will only verify a student’s program completion once, even if they take the examination multiple times. Archived reports list students who have previously been verified through the EEV in chronological order by program end date.
