How to get a permission letter so you can test at another club?
We understand that it is sometimes difficult to attend WFSC test sessions and that you must test outside of the club. To that end, you are required to have permission from WFSC for each test that you take. Each member in good standing is able to access a personalized permission letter by logging into Entryeeze account. NOTE: You may need to enable pop-ups to access the link.
Once you log you, go to “Manage my Family”, select the skater, and you should see a large “Download Permission Letter” button under Personal Information. A pdf will be downloaded to your computer.

If you change your mind less than 3 weeks before the test date, you will not receive a refund or credit. You are always welcome to register again for any future test.
When you register for a test, you are committing to being able to test anytime during the test session. Scheduling is dependent on judge availability and the number registered for each type of test.
Requests for specific testing times submitted at least 3 weeks before the test date will be considered, but we cannot guarantee being able to honor them. After the test schedule is posted, no time changes will be permitted.
Special request must be submitted in a single, new email (do not hit Reply) to the test chair. The subject of the email must include the skater’s name, special request (for example, “time”), and the date of the test. If you are unable to attend the test session after you have registered, we do appreciate it you notify us as soon as possible.
