What happens if ICVA opens a security investigation involving me?

NAVLE - Scoring, Retakes, Exam Security & Grievances

You would receive a written Notice of Investigation describing the alleged violation and a response deadline; your score may be withheld in the meantime. ICVA then issues a Draft Report, and you have 10 calendar days to dispute specific factual inaccuracies. If a violation is substantiated in the Final Report, sanctions can include a NAVLE ban, special conditions on future attempts, cost reimbursement, and disclosure to your licensing boards, AAVSB, or school. You may appeal only the Draft Report's factual accuracy or the sanctions themselves, in writing within 10 days, to a 3-person Appeal Panel whose decision is final.
