GENERAL INFORMATION
ETS is committed to serving test takers with disabilities or health-related needs by providing reasonable
accommodations that are appropriate given the purpose of the test.
While many test takers with disabilities successfully take a GRE
®
test with appropriate accommodations, some
test takers with disabilities may want to ask their prospective institution or fellowship sponsor whether it is
willing to waive the test requirement and consider their application based on other information.
Important: Test takers requesting accommodations MUST complete a Testing Accommodations Request Form
and submit it to ETS Disability Services. The form may be submitted online, via email, mail or courier service.
We strongly encourage using the convenient online registration system. You must submit your request and
have your accommodations approved by ETS Disability Services before your GRE test may be scheduled.
Accommodations cannot be applied to a test that has already been scheduled.
Submit your request as early as possible. Documentation review takes approximately four to six weeks once
your request and complete paperwork have been received at ETS. If additional documentation is requested,
it may be approximately another two to four weeks from the time the new documentation is received until
the review is complete. ETS is committed to producing alternate test formats as quickly as possible; however,
production times may vary, especially if you are taking a GRE Subject Test.
Information about GRE program policies, tests offered, test dates, fees and payment policies, identication (ID)
requirements, testing procedures and score reporting information is available in the GRE
®
Information Bulletin
and on the GRE website at www.ets.org/gre. It is recommended you review this information prior to requesting
accommodations.
To submit your accommodations request online, you will need to create an ETS account at www.ets.org/mygre.
In your ETS account you may upload documentation and indicate your preferred test date and location. You
may also view your approved accommodations and test appointments. In addition, if you are approved for
extended test time, extra breaks, screen magnication and/or selectable background and foreground colors, you
may also self-schedule your test online through your ETS account. If you are requesting and are approved for
accommodations other than the four listed above, you cannot schedule your test online. Your approval letter
will provide instructions for scheduling your test.
Using Previously Approved Accommodations
If you were previously approved for accommodations on a GRE test, review your approval letter to determine
if your accommodations approval is still current. If your accommodations have not expired, you may register
following the directions on your letter.
If you are registering for a paper-based test (GRE Subject Tests), complete Parts I and II of the
Accommodations Request Form and registration form even if you are requesting accommodations identical to
those approved for you by ETS within the last two years.
If you have received accommodations from ETS for another test (for example, the TOEFL
®
test, a Praxis
®
test,
or a School Leadership Series assessment) and your documentation is still current, you may request the same
accommodations for a GRE test during the 2021–22 testing year without providing disability documentation.
The accommodations ETS previously approved for you will be approved again if they are appropriate for the
current test.
2021–22 GRE Bulletin Supplement for Test Takers with Disabilities or Health-related Needs

Reduced-distraction Setting
Many test takers request a reduced-distraction setting. The testing centers are designed to have minimal
distractions with each test taker assigned to an individual carrel with earplugs or headphones available upon
request to further reduce environmental noise.
Pre-approved Personal Items
Certain items are allowed in the testing area without prior approval. These include, but are not limited
to, bandages, spinal cord stimulators, foot stool, lumbar support cushion, service animals and hearing
aids/cochlear implant. However, if your hearing aids or cochlear implant have Bluetooth capabilities,
accommodations must be requested. The full list of pre-approved personal items for use at test centers is
available at www.ets.org/disabilities/prometric.
If you wear an insulin pump, you do not need to request accommodations unless your pump consists of two
pieces (the pump which is attached to your body plus the transmitter used to program the pump) or your
pump is especially noisy. If the pump cannot be silenced and is likely to disturb other test takers, requesting
accommodations is a good idea so you may be scheduled in a separate room. A continuous glucose monitor
attached to your pump does not require prior approval; however, if you wish to have your glucose test kit in the
testing area, you must request accommodations.
HOW TO REQUEST ACCOMMODATIONS
Steps to Request Accommodations
To request accommodations for a GRE test, follow the steps below:
1. Complete the Testing Accommodations Request Form.
2. Complete the GRE Test Authorization Request Form for Test Takers with Disabilities or
Health-related Needs (if not submitting your materials online).
3. Gather your disability documentation.
4. Submit completed forms.
Detailed information regarding each of these steps is provided in this Supplement.
STEP 1: COMPLETE THE TESTING ACCOMMODATIONS REQUEST FORM
Complete the Testing Accommodations Request Form on pages 11–22 in this Supplement or access and
complete the form in your ETS account at www.ets.org/mygre.
Part I — Applicant Information
Complete this section and sign the Applicant’s Verication Statement even if you are requesting
accommodations identical to those approved for you by ETS within the last two years.

Part II — Accommodations Requested
Complete this section even if you are requesting accommodations identical to those approved for you by
ETS within the last two years. If you are requesting accommodations other than those listed in Part II,
you must describe them under “Other Accommodations.”
Accommodations for Health-related Needs
Health-related needs are most commonly those affecting digestion, immune function, respiration,
circulation, endocrine functions, etc., and frequently require only minor accommodations.
Documented health needs include conditions such as diabetes, Crohns disease and chronic pain. Minor
accommodations include but are not limited to: extra breaks for medication, snacks, beverages or glucose
testing materials that are necessary during the test session.
Documentation for health-related needs should include a letter of support from a medical doctor or
other qualied professional stating the nature of the condition and the rationale for the requested
accommodation(s). Please note, handwritten documentation or a note on a prescription pad is not
acceptable.
Commonly Requested Accommodations
Extended Test Time (all tests are timed)
$ 25 percent (time and one-quarter) or 50 percent (time and one-half) or 100 percent (double time)
Extra Breaks — The testing clock stops for breaks and does not affect your testing time. Breaks may
be used for medication, snacks, trips to the restroom, etc. Some disabilities, by their nature, result in
fatigue, the need for rest, and/or restroom breaks while not impacting the actual test taking. In these
cases, extra breaks may be more appropriate than extended test time.

$ Selectable background and foreground colors
$ JAWS screen reader (only for applicants who are blind, legally blind, or have low vision)

All applicants are encouraged to submit Part III — Certication of Eligibility: Accommodations History
form which serves two distinct purposes:
To provide verication of an individual’s use of accommodations either in college or in the workplace
As a shortcut for approval of certain specic accommodations for particular disabilities
STEP 2: COMPLETE THE GRE TEST AUTHORIZATION REQUEST FORM FOR
TEST TAKERS WITH DISABILITIES OR HEALTH-RELATED NEEDS (IF NOT

and/or extra breaks.
You indicate in Part I of the Testing Accommodations Request Form you have a medical condition, or
you check “Other” under “Nature of your disability.”
You were rst diagnosed with a disability within the past 12 months.
You are requesting accommodations different from those ETS approved for you within the last two
years.
You have not previously used the accommodations being requested.

DO NOT send documentation if you are not required to do so. Submitting unrequired documentation
will delay the review process. An Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan which provides a
history of disability and accommodations use may be helpful; however, an IEP or 504 Plan alone is not
sufcient information for accommodation decision making. For more information regarding documentation
guidelines, please visit www.ets.org/disabilites.
If you have low vision or some other condition which affects visual functioning, such as an eye coordination
disorder, refer to the “Guidelines for Documentation of Blindness and Low Vision in Adolescents and
Adults” online at https://www.ets.org/disabilities/documentation/ and submit your documentation. If you
are blind or legally blind, you do NOT need to submit documentation if you are submitting a Certication
of Eligibility: Accommodations History form and are requesting only accommodations from the list below.
Screen magnication
Selectable background and foreground colors
Braille
Large print (test book and/or answer sheet)
Recorded audio
Human reader
Human scribe
Braille slate and stylus for note-taking only
Perkins brailler for note-taking only
50 percent extended test time (time and one-half) or less
Extra breaks
If you are blind or legally blind, a request for 100 percent extended test time (double time) does not require
documentation if you are submitting a Part III — Certication of Eligibility: Accommodations History
form and you are requesting braille, a human reader or recorded audio.
If you are deaf or hard-of-hearing, you do NOT need to submit documentation if you are submitting
a Part III — Certication of Eligibility: Accommodations History form and are requesting only
accommodations from the list below.
50 percent extended test time (time and one-half) or less
Extra breaks
Sign language interpreter (for check-in assistance and spoken directions only)
Oral interpreter (for check-in assistance and spoken directions only)

Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing: To provide tests and testing services as requested, including processing for the
administration of tests, such as marking, and score reporting to test takers and nominated score recipients.
Legitimate Interests relied upon: ETS requires your Personal Information for purposes of administering educational
tests and providing these tests in a secure manner so that test takers receive accurate results and test qualications are
recognized by intended score recipients.
International Transfers: Data will be transferred to data processors engaged by ETS in various jurisdictions outside of
the EEA, depending on the particular Testing Services requested. These transfers are made in accordance with the
acknowledgment you have given above and intercompany and third-party transfer agreements, in accordance with
applicable laws.
Personal Information Retention: Personal Information is generally held for ve years from the date of its submission. This
period may be extended by ETS if the score for the Testing Service you require remains valid for a longer period (which
information is usually contained in your testing result information), if the Testing Service you have requested is being
reviewed or if our legitimate interest in retaining your Personal Information remains in place. It also may be shorter if we
no longer require your Personal Information (for example, if you have expressed interest in a test but have not taken one).
You may contact us at etsinfo@ets.org if you require further information.
Data Subject Rights: In addition to the rights described above, you may have data portability rights. For security reasons,
most testing organizations will require that Personal Information be obtained directly from you and this may limit the
usefulness of your data portability rights.
Supervisory Body: Please contact the national data processing authority in the jurisdiction in which you receive the Testing
Services.
For Hong Kong residents only: Subject to applicable laws regarding our use of your Personal Information, we will not use
your Personal Information if we do not reasonably believe that such use is in your interests. In order for us to supply you
with the Testing Services, you must supply us with your Personal Information to complete any registration, purchase or
other transaction you request online and/or perform any of our other contractual obligations to you which requires us to
have the Personal Information.
For Australian residents only: Please be informed that if you agree to the overseas disclosure of the information or transfer
of your data outside of Australia, ETS and its afliates will not be required to take reasonable steps to ensure that ETS or
its afliates’ use of such data outside of Australia does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles.
For Canadian residents only: This is the notication that ETS is required to provide to Canadian residents. Please see
above regarding International Data Transfers. Where we transfer Personal Data to third parties, we contractually require
third parties to have a written procedure in place that comply with the requirements of the applicable privacy laws in
Canada.
For Singapore residents only: In connection with the transfer of your Personal Information outside of Singapore,
ETS believes that the laws of the recipient country of your Personal Information will provide a standard of protection
comparable to the applicable laws of Singapore.
Contact Information
If you have questions or requests concerning our use of your Personal Information, you should contact: etsinfo@ets.org.
By indicating “Accept,” you expressly and voluntarily acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions above,
particularly those relating to our use of biometric data and the international transfer of Personal Information.

___________________________________________________________________________
First Name M.I. Last Name
Verication Statement to Be Signed by Applicant
I attest to the fact that the information recorded on this application is true, and if this application is not sufcient, I
agree to provide ETS with any additional information or documentation requested in order to evaluate my request for
accommodations. I also give permission to release to ETS a copy of any pertinent information required to establish the
need for the accommodation(s) requested herein. If I am requesting the use of an assistive device, I am familiar with its
use.
I understand that all information that is necessary to process this application must be available to ETS
sufciently in advance of the test administration date to provide time to evaluate and process my request
for accommodations. I also understand that processing may take approximately four to six weeks from the time the
application is complete. If additional documentation must be submitted, it may be another two to four weeks from the time
the new documentation is received until the review is complete. I acknowledge that ETS reserves the right to make nal
determination as to whether any requested accommodation is warranted and appropriate.
If I am submitting Part III — Certication of Eligibility: Accommodations History form, I acknowledge that my request for
accommodations will not be processed if I alter or revise Part III in any way after the appropriate ofcial has completed it.
I also understand that ETS does not waive its right to ask the person who completes Part III on my behalf to submit the
supporting documentation, if necessary, either before or after the test administration date.
I authorize any person completing Part III — Certication of Eligibility: Accommodations History form on my behalf to
release this information to ETS upon ETS’s request. I also understand that the documentation in support of my request for
accommodations supersedes any information contained in Part III — Certication of Eligibility: Accommodations History
form. For quality assurance, Part III — Certication of Eligibility: Accommodations History form may be subject to audit
resulting in a review of the actual disability documentation on le.
I acknowledge that any submitted information may also be used for research purposes, and that in no case will any
individual be identied by name in research studies, and that the information will be protected by the terms of ETS’s
Condentiality of Data Policy.
I further understand that ETS reserves the right to withhold or cancel my scores if it is subsequently determined that,
in ETS’s judgment, any information presented in this application or supporting documentation is either questionable,
inaccurate, or used to obtain accommodations that are not necessary.
I understand that ETS has contracted with an external panel of expert consultants with whom it may consult to augment
its in-house expertise. By submitting my request for accommodations, I authorize and provide my consent to ETS to share
my personal information as needed concerning this request.

Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing: To provide tests and testing services as requested, including processing for the
administration of tests, such as marking and score reporting to test takers and nominated score recipients.
Legitimate Interests relied upon: ETS requires your Personal Information for purposes of administering educational
tests and providing these tests in a secure manner so that test takers receive accurate results and test qualications are
recognized by intended score recipients.
International Transfers: Data will be transferred to data processors engaged by ETS in various jurisdictions outside of
the EEA, depending on the particular Testing Services requested. These transfers are made in accordance with the
acknowledgment you have given above and intercompany and third-party transfer agreements, in accordance with
applicable laws.
Personal Information Retention: Personal Information is generally held for ve years from the date of its submission. This
period may be extended by ETS if the score for the Testing Service you require remains valid for a longer period (which
information is usually contained in your testing result information), if the Testing Service you have requested is being
reviewed or if our legitimate interest in retaining your Personal Information remains in place. It also may be shorter if we
no longer require your Personal Information (for example, if you have expressed interest in a test but have not taken one).
You may contact us at etsinfo@ets.org if you require further information.
Data Subject Rights: In addition to the rights described above, you may have data portability rights. For security reasons,
most testing organizations will require that Personal Information be obtained directly from you and this may limit the
usefulness of your data portability rights.
Supervisory Body: Please contact the national data processing authority in the jurisdiction in which you receive the Testing
Services.
For Hong Kong residents only: Subject to applicable laws regarding our use of your Personal Information, we will not use
your Personal Information if we do not reasonably believe that such use is in your interests. In order for us to supply you
with the Testing Services, you must supply us with your Personal Information to complete any registration, purchase or
other transaction you request online and/or perform any of our other contractual obligations to you which requires us to
have the Personal Information.
For Australian residents only: Please be informed that if you agree to the overseas disclosure of the information or transfer
of your data outside of Australia, ETS and its afliates will not be required to take reasonable steps to ensure that ETS or
its afliates’ use of such data outside of Australia does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles.
For Canadian residents only: This is the notication that ETS is required to provide to Canadian residents. Please see
above regarding International Data Transfers. Where we transfer Personal Data to third parties, we contractually require
third parties to have a written procedure in place that comply with the requirements of the applicable privacy laws in
Canada.
For Singapore residents only: In connection with the transfer of your Personal Information outside of Singapore,
ETS believes that the laws of the recipient country of your Personal Information will provide a standard of protection
comparable to the applicable laws of Singapore.
Contact Information
If you have questions or requests concerning our use of your Personal Information, you should contact: etsinfo@ets.org.
By indicating “Accept,” you expressly and voluntarily acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions above,
particularly those relating to our use of biometric data and the international transfer of Personal Information.
