Testing Accommodations for the November MPRE

Individuals with documented disabilities who wish to receive accommodations on the MPRE are encouraged to apply for accommodations by the Recommended Submission Deadline, July 30, 2026.

WHAT TO KNOW:

• Candidates must apply for accommodations and receive their determination prior to registering and scheduling a test appointment
• Accommodations cannot be added to an existing test appointment
• It typically takes NCBE 25 business days to review a request
• Note: If submitting after the recommended deadline, applicants may not receive a decision in sufficient time to enable Pearson VUE to arrange for and prepare approved accommodations by their desired test administration. In that event, you may still test under standard conditions (without accommodations). You may also choose to postpone taking the exam until the next test administration.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Recommended Submission Deadline: July 30, 2026

MPRE Registration Deadline: September 17, 2026

Testing Dates: November 12 & 13, 2026

RESOURCES: DRS & Counseling Center

If you currently receive Law School Testing Accommodations, University of Memphis Disability Resource Services (DRS) will assist you by completing the Certification of Accommodations form. Please complete your portion of the form and then submit it to your DRS coordinator as soon as possible or contact Tara Buchannan, DRS Director, at tmbchnnn@memphis.edu.

If your request requires updated testing or a fresh evaluation to meet the NCBE’s “current and relevant” documentation requirement (e.g., within the past five years), the University of Memphis Counseling Center is a critical resource.  

The Counseling Center can provide required evaluations and supporting documentation for your MPRE application.  

Please note, the Counseling Center needs at least 6 to 7 weeks to complete the evaluation process. It is recommended that students initiate the evaluation process at least 10-12 weeks prior to the Recommended Submission Deadline.
