Requesting Accommodations

 

Remote Testing  

 

Once your institution has established that a student qualifies for ADA accommodations, please follow these steps: 

  1. Student purchases the exam from the NLN Testing Portal (www.nlntest.org).  

  1. School Administrator completes and submits the NLN Exam Accommodations Request Form on behalf of the student. Allow up to 5 business days for review and processing.  

  1. If approved by the NLN Assessment Services Division, additional time is added to the student’s assessment, and the student and administrator will receive an email. 

 

Onsite Testing 

Once you have established that a student qualifies for ADA accommodations, the onsite proctor will follow these steps:  

 

Adding Onsite ADA Accommodations to PAX Assessments 

PAX exams are the only NLN exam that require you to enter additional time per section.  

  • Check in the student to the event.  

  • Navigate to Proctor Tools.  

  • Click on the student’s name.  

  • Click on the arrow and clock icon to add 20 minutes (for the first section only).  

  • When the student has completed the verbal section, move the slide over to “single”, click on the student’s name and pause their exam.  

  • Navigate back to the arrow and clock to add another 20 minutes. Restart the exam.  

  • Repeat for the third section and then the student will submit their exam when finished.  

 

Adding Onsite Accommodations to non-PAX Assessments 

  • Once the student has been checked into the event, navigate to Proctor Tools.  

  • Move the participant slide to SINGLE.  

  • Click on the student’s name.  

  • Click on the arrow and clock icon to add additional minutes. The student is now able to take the exam.
