Candidates Seeking Licensure in the District of Columbia and Virginia
NABP complies with the requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). To request testing accommodations under the ADA, you must submit a request form and supporting documentation during your online application process.
To ensure the security and integrity of its examinations, all testing ADA accommodation requests will be evaluated by NABP first, and then evaluated by the board of pharmacy, as applicable.
To submit an accommodation request:
Download and complete the Request for Testing Accommodations form.
Upload the completed form and supporting documentation in your NABP e-Profile.
If you do not upload your form at this time, your request may be delayed.
Testing accommodations will be provided after NABP’s approval.
Review the Pearson VUE Comfort Aid List for items that do not require preapproval but do require a visual inspection before they are allowed into the testing room.
If you are approved for ADA testing accommodations by NABP, you will be notified via email and must schedule your examination appointments by contacting Pearson VUE’s customer service by phone (see the Contact Information section at the end of this Bulletin).
Failure to schedule for ADA accommodations with a Pearson VUE representative may result in ADA accommodations not being available to you at the testing center. It is your responsibility to appropriately schedule your testing appointments; any instances where the procedure has not been followed may result in the forfeiture of the testing opportunity and examination fee.
Adjustments are not made to exam results, regardless of accommodations.
If you wish to cancel your ADA accommodation request, or you have already applied for the examination, contact ADArequest@nabp.pharmacy. If you have already applied for an examination without an ADA accommodation request and would now like to submit a request, contact ADArequest@nabp.pharmacy for more information.
Upload the completed ADA accommodation request form and supporting documentation in your NABP e-Profile during the online application process. Please also visit the appropriate board of pharmacy website to ensure that you understand specific requirements for the state/jurisdiction, including the provision of state-specific documentation, if any. Your completed form, supporting documentation, and state-specific documentation will be reviewed by NABP and sent to the board of pharmacy for its review. NABP will contact you after the review of your request is completed. Candidates whose requests have been approved may schedule their testing appointment with Pearson VUE through the above-stated process.
