Special Accommodation Requests
IEEE ComSoc will, to the best of its ability, accommodate candidates with disabilities who need special arrangements to take the examination. Auxiliary aids and services will be provided except where these may fundamentally alter the examination or result in an undue burden.

Prometric may be unable to comply with special accommodation requests made by candidates taking the examination where local operating conditions or local laws and customs render such requests unlawful, impossible, or economically unfeasible to perform.

A special accommodation request must be made by the candidate at the time of application by marking the appropriate box on the online application.  Candidates who request special accommodations must also submit the Special Testing Accommodation Request form and the Documentation of Disability-Related Needs by Qualified Professional form. The Documentation of Disability-Related Needs form must be completed by a professional with a license or credential appropriate to diagnose and treat the candidate's disability.  The nature of the disability, identification of the test(s) and protocols used to confirm the diagnosis, a description of past accommodations made for the disability, and the specific testing accommodations requested must be included. All information submitted will be kept confidential.

Candidates must mail, email or fax special accommodation information to PES within ten (10) business days of the date they submit the application.  Candidates who do not provide the requested information within the specified time frame will forfeit all fees.
