Robert
Sumner Nielsen
Hamilton, Bermuda
(Excelsior College, Albany, New
York, Bachelor of Science, February
2003)
Petition
for:
Acceptance of passing grades on the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy
Examination.
Statement
of Problem:
Mr. Nielsen applied for licensure and admission to the Uniform CPA Examination
in 2003. His education at
Excelsior
College satisfied all the
educational requirements for licensure.
To earn credit toward satisfying the licensing examination requirement
Commissioner's Regulations specify that an applicant must first pass two
subtests of the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy Examination at one
examination administration and must pass all four subtests within any three-year
period. Mr. Nielsen sat for two
sections of the examination in November 2003. The Law and Professional Responsibility
(LPR) section of the examination was given on Thursday, November 6, 2003 and the
Financial Accounting & Reporting (FAR) section on Friday, November 7,
2003. During the administration of
the LPR section of the examination, Mr. Nielsen experienced a problem with his
eye that grew progressively worse during the course of the examination. Panicking, Mr. Nielsen submitted the
examination prior to the end of the administration and proceeded to a hospital
where he was diagnosed with a torn retina.
Mr. Nielsen scored a 72 on this examination, while the passing score is
75. Mr. Nielsen, with the consent
of a physician, subsequently sat for and passed the FAR section of the
examination the next day. Mr.
Nielsen subsequently passed the remaining three sections of the examination
between February 2005 and May 2006.
Mr. Nielsen documented that the progressive severity of his unknown
medical condition caused him to panic and terminate his examination in order to
go to a local hospital. Mr. Nielsen
has submitted a doctor’s note indicating that he did indeed suffer from a torn
retina. Mr. Nielsen asks that his
passing scores on the Uniform CPA Examination be accepted as the substantial
equivalent of scores earned under Commissioner’s Regulations. Given the unusual circumstances caused
by his medical condition, the Executive Secretary of the State Board for Public
Accountancy supports his request.

Mendon,
NY 14472
(Universidade
Metodista de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil, Doctor of Dental Surgery, December
1996)
Petition
for: Acceptance
of education.
Statement
of Problem: The
Regulations of the Commissioner of Education require the completion of two years
of preprofessional education before entry into professional school. Dr. Carlson completed only one year of
preprofessional education before entering dental school. However, after
completing her dental program, she was awarded a Master of Public Health degree
in May 2006 by the University of Rochester. Commissioner’s Regulations
allow the Committee on the Professions to count 30 semester hours of such study
toward the preprofessional education requirement.
Additionally, Dr. Carlson must provide evidence of the completion of two
academic years of study in general dentistry at an accredited dental school
program which culminated in certification that she achieved the level of
knowledge and clinical proficiency expected of a graduate of a registered or
accredited dental school. Such
study is required for applicants completing a program of dental education in an
unregistered or unaccredited dental school. While enrolled in the Master of Public
Health program, Dr. Carlson completed the two-year general dentistry program at
the University of Rochester Eastman Dental Center on June 30, 2006. This program is acknowledged by the
State Board for Dentistry as the substantial equivalent of the two-year program
required in regulation.
