Candidates must contact, in writing, the administration office to which they sent their application as soon as possible, providing their name, RCP code number and date of birth. Candidates who withdraw before the advertised closing date will be given a 90% refund of the exam fee (10% is retained to cover administrative costs). However, candidates who withdraw after the closing date will not be entitled to a refund and must resolve any outstanding fees in order to sit future MRCP(UK) Examinations.
It is each candidate’s responsibility to ensure that applications are completed as soon as possible. The MRCP(UK) Central Office will contact candidates to advise them of any outstanding information and will provide a deadline for receipt. Candidates will be allocated a provisional exam place in the meantime, but applications will be rejected if the outstanding information is not received by the deadline. Candidates whose applications are incomplete because the full exam fee has not been received must pay this in order to sit any future MRCP(UK) examinations, even if they subsequently withdraw or are absent from the exam.
