Part IV Exam:

Supporting Students in the 2026 Transition

During the first half of 2026, examinees are eligible to take the original Part IV exam at a campus-based location in May, or schedule the updated version of the Part IV exam beginning in April at the new assessment center in Greeley, Colorado.


We've created a custom web page - The Student Communication Toolkit - that includes information, tools, and assets meant to assist college leadership in communicating NBCE Part IV Exam changes with students enrolled in Doctor of Chiropractic Programs (DCPs).

Partner with us to Inform your Students

We invite you to partner with us to ensure students have every resource they need to navigate the process as smoothly as possible, especially if they plan to be testing at the new NBCE Part IV Assessment Center.

Registration goes live December 9.

For the first time, examinees can choose between two testing location options - review the changes and how to register here.
