How to Request Accommodations on the LSAT

All requests for test accommodations (including requests related to previously approved accommodations) must now be submitted online through your LSAC JD Account. All information related to your request can be completed online, and all required documents can be uploaded and submitted electronically. Please contact us if you have any questions about submitting your request online.

To make your online request:

1. You must already be registered for the LSAT test date for which you wish to request testing accommodations. You will not be able to begin the online accommodations request process until you are registered to take the test for which you wish to request testing accommodations.

   This is important. Upon registering, you will be prompted to indicate whether you prefer to test remotely or at a test center; however, this will not dictate your final placement. When requesting accommodations, please consider the accommodations needed for both testing modalities. Certain accommodations are best administered in a remote modality while others are best administered in a test center modality. Because of this, tester takers who are approved for certain accommodations may be required to test using a particular modality absent exceptional circumstances (hardship) and/or a specifically approved accommodation to test in a specific modality.

   Disability-related requests to test in a test center or remote modality, and supporting documentation, must be submitted by the accommodation request deadline for the applicable LSAT administration.

   Requests based on exceptional circumstances (hardship) need to be made within four calendar days of scheduling opening for your test date. If you’re approved for a hardship exception, you will be required to test with your requested modality. All hardships are approved and processed on a case-by-case basis per administration and do not automatically apply to future tests.

2. Access the online request form by activating the “Request or Modify Accommodations” link in your LSAC JD Account. You can find this link under “LSAT” in your account’s menu system.

3. The online “Request or Modify Accommodations” form will guide you through the process of submitting all required information and documentation. If you are not able to complete your request in one session, you can save your progress and continue the request process later. However, you must submit your completed request by the accommodation request deadline, which can be found at Upcoming LSAT Dates.
