Requesting a Nonpublished Test Center
If it is impossible for you to travel to a published/listed test center, and you are located over 100 miles from an open, published center, you may request that LSAC establish a nonpublished test center. NOTE: LSAC cannot establish a nonpublished center in China.
Because it takes additional administrative time to establish and open a center, you should submit a written request, including your fees, as early as possible before the receipt deadline for nonpublished test centers listed under the Test Dates and Deadlines area of our website. If you request accommodated testing at a nonpublished test center, all required documentation relating to your condition must be submitted in time to meet the appropriate nonpublished test center registration receipt deadline.
LSAC recommends that you use priority mail to meet these deadlines. Send your request and payment to LSAC, Test Administration, 662 Penn Street, Newtown, PA 18940. Or fax your request, including credit card number and expiration date, to 215.968.1277.
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. Note: All credit card payments will be charged in US dollars. Checks or money orders must be payable to Law School Admission Council (LSAC) in US or Canadian dollars.
Be sure to:
- Establish an LSAC account online at www.LSAC.org or telephone 215.968.1001.
- Send 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 person cannot be family, a friend, or your immediate supervisor.
- Include the regular test center fee plus an additional nonpublished test center fee. Both fees must be paid each time a center is established. The additional 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 by the deadline date. In case LSAC cannot accommodate your request, please indicate in your letter which of the following alternatives you prefer: a refund of your test fee, 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 50 United States, Canada, and the Caribbean are nondisclosed. The February test is not available at centers outside of the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Australia, and New Zealand. All shipboard administrations are nondisclosed. Shipboard is considered a non-US test center regardless of its geographic location and must be paid for accordingly.
