Request for Accommodation Based on Disability

A candidate who requires accommodation(s) on an exam must provide proof of their disability. The Board recommends the completion of the Request for Accommodation form (https://www.psychology.ca.gov/forms_pubs/adaform.pdf) when documenting a candidate’s disability. 

Things to consider when submitting an accommodation:

  1. Exam Accommodations can only be processed if the applicant has applied to the Board and is eligible to take the exam.
  2. Accommodations must be submitted to the Board for processing before scheduling an exam (EPPP and/or CPLEE). Applicants can mail or email the form directly to BOPExams@dca.ca.gov.
    1. EPPP - Applicants (with an accommodation approved by the Board) can register through CERTEMY, request accommodation and schedule their exam through CERTEMY. Do not attempt to schedule an exam and ask accommodations after, the Board will not have the ability to apply any accommodations until the exam is cancelled. Email a copy of the cancellation notice and a request for a new EPPP assignment with accommodations to BOPExams@dca.ca.gov.
    2. CPLEE - Exam accommodations are applied automatically provided that the accommodation approval has not expired, and the applicant is eligible to take the CPLEE. Accommodations are directly sent to PSI, Inc. by the Board.
  3. Accommodation approvals are valid one year from the date of approval unless the disability is deemed permanent by the evaluator.
  4. Approval of an accommodation can be applied to both exams, provided the exams are taken before the accommodation expires. Once an accommodation expires, applicants must submit a new request to the Board.
  5. Accommodation approvals do not extend a candidate’s exam eligibility period. Exam eligibility expires one year from the date of approval or from the last exam taken. Any questions regarding exam eligibility must be directed to the Board’s Licensing Unit at (916) 574-7720 option 4 or via email at boplicensing@dca.ca.gov.

For more questions regarding accommodations, email the Board’s Examination Coordinator at BOPExams@dca.ca.gov. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
