What are "Non-Standard Testing Conditions," and how are they different from accommodations?
NAVLE - Accommodations & Non-Standard Testing ConditionsNon-Standard Testing Conditions cover temporary medical circumstances — recovering from surgery, an injury, lactation needs, etc. — rather than a documented disability. You'll submit a completed Non-Standard Testing Conditions Request Form plus a typewritten, signed letter from a qualified professional (translated into English if needed, at your expense) no later than 14 days before your testing window starts. Approval is valid for one year only, so you'll need to reapply if you need the same non-standard testing conditions for a later attempt.
