Instructions

  1. Requesting ADA accommodations is NOT necessary if you need comfort items. If your comfort item is on the list, simply bring it with you to the test center. The item(s) will be inspected before you enter the testing room.
  2. Read the Documentation Guidelines and be sure your evaluator has read them.
  3. Complete the online Accommodations Request Form.
  4. At the bottom of the online form, you will see a button to upload your supporting documentation. When you are done, be sure to click the “SUBMIT” button.
  5. Most accommodations decisions are made within 10 business days. In some cases, if a request is unusually complex, it may take a bit longer than 10 business days. DO NOT CONTACT US TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF YOUR REQUEST IF IT HAS NOT BEEN 10 BUSINESS DAYS.

How To File An Appeal

  1. If any of your requested accommodations were not approved, you may appeal. Appeal requests are generally more effective if they include:

    • Additional documentation beyond what was included with the original request
  2. Be sure both you and your evaluator have read the Documentation Guidelines. Prepare your supporting evidence that conforms to these guidelines.
  3. Complete another online Accommodations Request Form.
  4. Upload your completed Accommodations Request Form and supporting documentation.
  5. WAIT 10 business days for a decision.
