Fees in addition to regular test fees

• Non Members of UDFSC must pay an additional $30.00 non member fee per test session.
• Late applications may be turned in with a $25.00 late fee.
  PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR TEST CAN BE SCHEDULED.

  *TEST FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE*

Test applicants should heed the following advice before submitting an application

• Test fees are non refundable so be sure that you are available to take the test at any time on the scheduled day.
• Testers and coaches should be prepared to test up to one hour before their scheduled time. If the test session runs early and you are not present one hour before your scheduled time, you risk forfeiting your test.
• When submitting an application for a contingent test, be aware that your test fee is forfeited if you are unable to take the contingent test.
• Scheduling of tests on applications submitted after the test schedule is posted is subject to time restraints and judges availability. If the test cannot be scheduled, it will be forwarded to the next test session. The fees are non-refundable.
• Scheduling the tests involves many variables; individual needs cannot always be accommodated. Think carefully before submitting an application for testing on a day that you have other commitments.
• If UDFSC is not your home club, a letter of permission from your home club must be received prior to the test date or you will not be allowed to test. Permission letters may be submitted with the application, faxed to (302) 831-2812, or e-mailed to UDTestChair@aol.com.
• If you have any inquiries or special circumstances, please indicate on the reverse side or attach a note to the application. Once the schedule is posted there will be no rescheduling to accommodate individual needs.

USFSA Membership

• All applicants must, at the time of the test, be a member in good standing of the USFSA. Your USFSA number must appear on the test application on the reverse side of this sheet. Put "applied for" in the space requesting your USFSA number if you are a new member and have not yet received your USFSA card.
• Anyone taking a test without a current USFSA membership becomes a defacto UDFSC member, and all USFSA/UDFSC membership dues must be paid immediately.

Permission Letters

• If the UDFSC is not your home club, you must attach a letter of permission from your home club indicating that you are a member in good standing and have permission to test at the UDFSC.
• If you are taking USFSA tests at other clubs, you must get a letter of permission from the UDFSC to verify that you are a member in good standing of the UDFSC or use a copy of the "good standing" letter provided to all UDFSC members.

Delivering your application

Put your application in the UDFSC Mail Lock Box located above the mail cubbies in the office hallway in the Fred Rust Arena by 5:00 PM on the specified date. Hand in your own application -- DO NOT ENTRUST OTHERS TO HAND IT IN FOR YOU.
