Accommodations for Test Takers with Disabilities or Health-related Needs

Testing Accommodations for Individuals with Disabilities or Health-related Needs

ETS is committed to serving test takers with disabilities and health-related needs by providing services and reasonable accommodations that are appropriate given the purpose of the test. Testing accommodations are available for test takers who meet ETS requirements.

Applying for Accommodations

The Bulletin Supplement for Test Takers with Disabilities or Health-related Needs contains procedures and forms for requesting testing accommodations. The Supplement should be used in conjunction with the information in the GRE^® Information Bulletin and registration form(s).

Note: All test takers requesting any accommodations must submit their requests and have their accommodations approved by ETS Disability Services before their test can be scheduled. Your request should be submitted as early as possible, especially if you are requesting an alternate test format. Documentation review takes approximately six weeks once your request and complete paperwork have been received. If additional documentation must be submitted, it can be another six weeks from the time the new documentation is received until the review is complete.

Once you have been approved, ETS will send you an email providing instructions for registering for the GRE test. Please wait for your approval email before registering to test.

If you have a health-related need that requires you to bring equipment, beverages or snacks into the testing room, or to take extra or extended breaks, you must follow the accommodations request procedures in the Bulletin Supplement for Test Takers with Disabilities or Health-related Needs.

To submit a request, send all completed forms and documentation via one of the following methods.

Online:

New for 2016–17, you can now apply for accommodations online in your ETS Account. To do this, log into your account, click on "GRE Accommodation Status/New Request" under the "Test Takers with Disabilities or Health-Related Needs" section on the home page and follow the instructions.
