Review the PASL submission window dates and deadlines to determine which submission window fits your schedule and choose your window carefully. If you select a submission window and later decide to change to another window, you will be subject to a reschedule fee. If you have entered task responses and then change your submission window, you will lose that information.
Submission Windows
Note: Registration, Reschedule and Cancellation deadlines take effect at 11:59 p.m. ET on the date indicated.
Task submission deadlines take effect at 2 p.m. ET on the date indicated.
Important Update: ETS continues to monitor the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as well as state and federal responses. As your health and safety are always ETS's primary concern, we are announcing modifications to the spring 2020 PASL assessment submission schedule. The new deadline dates are as follows:
- Registration deadline — May 11, 2020
- Task submission deadline — May 20, 2020 (at 2 p.m. ET)
- Resubmission registration deadline — July 1, 2020
- Resubmission Task submission deadline — July 8, 2020 (at 2 p.m. ET)
The submission system will be updated shortly to reflect the new deadlines.
ETS is continuing to determine if additional action may be necessary as the situation evolves. Candidates that are unable to complete the assessment this spring will be eligible to receive a registration voucher that allows for the completion of the PASL assessment over the next academic year. Candidates should contact ETS between May 11 and May 15 at ppa@ets.org or 1-855-628-5088 (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.–6 p.m. ET) once they have confirmed they will not able to complete the assessment. We will continue to provide updates periodically.

All tasks and artifacts must be submitted within the same submission window.
All tasks are due by 2 p.m. ET on the date indicated. If you miss the task deadline, you will receive a score of zero for the task(s) not submitted.
If you miss deadlines, you are not eligible for fee refunds.
Resubmitting a Task
During the resubmission window, you may be eligible to register to resubmit responses to Tasks 1, 2 and/or 3 if you were not able to obtain the passing score for the assessment. For more information about resubmissions, see Resubmitting Your Tasks.
System Maintenance Windows
Several times during the year, ETS schedules downtimes where maintenance work is performed on ETS systems. The fall 2019 and spring 2020 scheduled system downtimes that will impact your access to the registration and task submission system are listed below. The specific timeframe for each of the outages will be posted on your account prior to the outage. Plan your work in the system accordingly.
Remember, you can prepare task responses, artifacts and video files outside the system independent of these outages.
