The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) is committed to complying with applicable law for individuals with disabilities, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Requests for exam accommodations are managed through our test service provider, Pearson VUE.
To request reasonable accommodations, you must indicate your need during the exam registration process. Once you’ve registered, you’ll receive an email from NCEES that contains next steps to continue your accommodations request.
Please visit the Pearson VUE website for more details.
If you fail to indicate your need for reasonable accommodations during initial registration, your current exam registration will need to be canceled, and you will have to complete a new registration.
For information on NCEES cancellation policies, please reference the NCEES Examinee Guide.
All medical and/or mental health information submitted with an accommodation request is considered confidential and will be used by NCEES and its vendors only to evaluate the need for accommodations and to provide approved accommodations. The only exceptions are when disclosure is required pursuant to a valid request for information from an administrative agency or a valid subpoena or other court order in a judicial proceeding or, in connection with an administrative or judicial proceeding related to an examinee’s accommodation request. NCEES may also provide access to accommodation-related records to researchers, but not in a manner that allows the researchers to see any personally identifiable examinee information.
