TEST DESCRIPTION: A special administration is any test administration that’s purposely conducted in a non-standard manner. From time to time Testing Services is asked to provide an accommodation in the form of a special administration for an examinee with an impairment that affects the examinee’s ability to take a test in the standard manner. These accommodations are made in accordance with the test administration provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA established basic legal rights for individual with physical, learning and mental disabilities that substantially limit a major life function.>

If you need to request a special administration based on a disability, you must submit a current letter from a licensed physician, optometrist, social worker, or psychologist (including title, address and telephone number) on his/her letterhead describing the nature of the functional limitation as it applies to taking a multiple test, standardized test, and the specific accommodations needed for testing. This information is forwarded to the testing company for their approval.

FEES: No additional fee is required for special administrations; however, all students are liable to the testing company for test fees.
