Administrative Accommodations
An administrative accommodation is for an applicant who requires special treatment in the regular exam room, such being permitted to bring items that would otherwise be prohibited or being seated near the restroom for medical reasons. Common examples of requests for an administrative accommodation include:
- Permission to bring a medical device or support such as a lumbar cushion, boot, brace, sling, crutches, diabetic supply, glucose monitor, insulin pump, inhaler, epi-pen, or nursing pump into the regular exam room. (You do not need to request an administrative accommodation to bring required medications into the exam room.)
- Permission to receive special seating in the regular exam room for a medical condition, such as near a restroom for late-stage pregnancy, or at the back of a row to allow wheelchair or scooter access.
- Permission to bring food or beverage (other than water) into the regular exam room for medical reasons.
To request an administrative accommodation for the upcoming exam, follow the instructions below. You should NOT request an administrative accommodation if you require extra time or other special treatment that cannot be provided in the regular exam room; if you require those accommodations, you must timely provide the Nonstandard Testing Accommodations forms found here.
To request an administrative accommodation, send an email to AdministrativeAccommodations@gasupreme.us.
- In the text of the email, provide your name, phone number, and a brief explanation of your request. For example, if you need to bring an item into the exam room that would otherwise be prohibited, you should explain why the item is needed.
- Attach to the email medical documentation, such as a letter from your medical professional, verifying the need for the accommodation.
The email (with supporting documentation) must be received by April 1 for the July exam and by November 1 for the February exam. You do NOT need to have been certified by the Fitness Board to request an administrative accommodation. If you are unable to submit your request for an administrative accommodation by the deadline due to circumstances beyond your control, email AdministrativeAccommodations@gasupreme.us as soon as possible. You will receive a reply message on your homepage within five business days of our receipt of your email.
