Changing Your Registration

Changing Your Registration for VCLA Computer-Based Testing

If after registering for a subtest or after scheduling your subtest you wish to modify your registration, you may request a modification following the procedures described below. Please note that it is not possible to change a registration for computer-based testing to a registration for paper-based testing. If you need to correct or update personal information (e.g., your mailing address), contact Evaluation Systems (see "Contact Information").

Changing your test date, test center, or testing time. If you have already scheduled your subtest and wish to change the date, time, or location of your test appointment, you may reschedule your test appointment on the Pearson VUE Web site at www.pearsonvue.com/vcla. The deadline for rescheduling your subtest is one business day (24 hours) before your scheduled testing time. There is no fee for rescheduling a test appointment.

Please note that test centers have limited seating. If you registered for both VCLA subtests and submitted a separate registration for each subtest, you may reschedule either one test appointment or both test appointments. If you choose to reschedule both test appointments, there can be no guarantee that the two test sessions can be rescheduled consecutively.

NOTE: If you have been approved for alternative testing arrangements and need to change the date, time, or location of your test appointment, you must call Pearson VUE to reschedule your test appointment by telephone at least one business day (24 hours) before your scheduled testing time. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Adding a test. If you registered for only one subtest and need to add the other subtest, you must do so by submitting a new registration for the second subtest and scheduling the second subtest separately in a new test session when you receive your second Authorization to Test. A second subtest cannot be added to an existing registration or test session.

Changing your test selection. If after registering you need to change your subtest selection (e.g., from the reading subtest to the writing subtest), you must first withdraw your original registration (see "Withdrawing from one or more tests" below) and then submit a new registration, selecting the subtest of your choice.

Withdrawing from one or more tests. If you have registered for one or both subtests but have not yet scheduled your test appointment(s), you may withdraw your registration by submitting a completed Withdrawal/Refund Request Form for VCLA Computer-Based Testing (see "Print Bulletin and Forms [PDF]").

If you have already scheduled your test appointment(s), you must first cancel your test appointment(s) on the Pearson VUE Web site at www.pearsonvue.com/vcla. The deadline for canceling your test appointment(s) is 24 hours before your scheduled testing time. Then, to withdraw your registration completely, submit a completed Withdrawal/Refund Request Form for VCLA Computer-Based Testing (see "Print Bulletin and Forms [PDF]").

If you are scheduled to take both subtests in the same test appointment (i.e., if you did not register for the subtests separately), canceling your test appointment will cancel your registration for both subtests. You may not withdraw from or receive a refund for only one subtest if both subtests are scheduled for the same test appointment.

For information about refunds, refer to the withdrawal/refund policy in "Test Fees and Payment Policies."

Changing Your Registration for VCLA and VRA Paper-Based Testing

If after registering you wish to modify your registration, you may submit a request on the Internet or send your request to Evaluation Systems by U.S. mail. See "Test Fees and Payment Policies" for information about the fees associated with registration modifications. Please note that it is not possible to change a registration for paper-based testing to a registration for computer-based testing. If you need to correct or update personal information (e.g., your mailing address), you may complete a Registration Information Correction Form at the test site on the day of the test administration.

The following table describes the types of registration changes available, the forms to submit (either on the Internet or by U.S. mail), and the associated deadlines. Follow the instructions below to submit a registration modification request on the Internet or by U.S. mail.

Changing your test date. If you request to change your test date, all tests will be changed from the original test date to the new test date. If you wish to change the test date for some, but not all, of the tests for which you are registered, first withdraw from the tests you wish to change. Then, submit a new registration for those tests, selecting the test date of your choice.

Changing your test area. You may request to change the test area for which you are registered; however, such requests are granted based upon available space. Requests to change from one testing facility to another in the same test area cannot be honored.

Adding a test or changing your test selection. You may request to add tests or change the tests for which you are registered. If your change in registration results in an overpayment, your refund will be issued approximately five weeks after the test date.
