Requesting a Nonpublished Test Center
If it is impossible for you to travel to a test center listed in LSAC online registration, and you are located over 100 miles from an open, published center, you may request that LSAC establish a nonpublished test center. You must use a paper LSAT & LSDAS Registration form to register for a nonpublished test center. Call 215.968.1001 or send an e-mail to LSACINFO@LSAC.org to request a paper registration packet. LSAC must receive your form, request, and fees on or before the receipt deadline for nonpublished test centers listed under the Test Dates and Deadlines area of our website. Because it takes additional administrative time to establish and open a center, you should submit your request as early as possible before the deadline for nonpublished test centers. If you request testing accommodations at a nonpublished test center, all required documentation relating to your disability must be submitted in time to meet the appropriate nonpublished test center registration receipt deadline.
NOTE: All credit card payments will be charged in US Dollars.
If registration is received after the nonpublished test center deadline, efforts will be made to notify you that we will process the request for the next regularly scheduled test date. If there is no response within a reasonable amount of time, we will return all registration materials and fees.
A nonpublished test center fee is required to establish a test location that is not listed online as open for the date you wish to take the test. A center that is listed as closed for a particular date may be opened if the required fee is paid and the center supervisor is able to accommodate the request.
Be sure to:
- Leave the test center code items blank on your registration form.
- Enclose a letter of request noting the names of large cities near your preferred test location. It would also be helpful if you could provide the name, street address, e-mail address, and telephone/fax numbers (including both country and city codes) of an educational institution along with the name of a staff member who may be willing to supervise the test on the date for which you are registering.
- The full nonpublished test center fee must be paid each time a center is established. The nonpublished test center fee is not covered by a fee waiver. LSAC will not attempt to establish a nonpublished test center unless the appropriate fees have been received with your registration form by the deadline date. LSAC recommends that you use priority mail to meet these deadlines.
- In case LSAC cannot accommodate your request, please indicate in your letter which of the following alternatives you prefer: a refund of your test fees, registration at the same location on the next regularly scheduled test date, or an alternative test center.
NOTE: Tests at nonpublished test centers outside of the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean are nondisclosed. The February test is not available at centers outside of the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. All shipboard administrations are nondisclosed.
