The Electronic Eligibility Database
(EED)
• The EED was developed to allow accredited
education programs the ability to transmit
graduate data online directly to the NBRC.
• Enrollment is free and encouraged for all
education programs.
Features of the EED
• Schools conveniently enter student
information online
• Return later to enter actual graduation dates
• View student records entered by your
program
• NBRC confirms eligibility electronically
– No paper required!
Accessing the EED
• Complete an annual enrollment form indicating
the users for your school
– New process implemented in 2011
– Email reminder sent in early November
• Two different levels of users: Admin and
Operator
– Operator level does not have access to SAEs or
Reports
• Enrollment is valid from February 1-Jan 31 each
year
• A new enrollment form must be completed
each year!
Setting Up Your Account
• Each user will receive an email indicating they
have been enrolled in the EED
• The email contains a username and temporary
password that is used to activate your account

Entering Graduate Information
• Please ensure all information is correct before
submitting to the NBRC!
• Double check your entries before pressing the
‘submit’ button.

cause a delay for your students.
Entering Graduate Information
• As early as the day of graduation, complete the
process by entering the students’ graduation
dates into the EED.
• The graduation date MUST match the official
graduation date issued by the University.
– The EED serves as an official transcript and the
information must match the information issued on a
paper transcript.
– There are no exceptions to this policy!
Entering Graduate Information
• Once an application is received, the NBRC can
confirm candidates’ eligibility by verifying
information entered into the EED, and then allow
scheduling of a testing appointment.
• The EED allows candidates to complete this
process entirely online.
• Paper applications are also accepted.

individual candidates for each content area
