How long does NCARB typically take to process accommodation requests?

• A. 5-7 business days
• B. 14-21 business days
• C. 7-10 business days
• D. 1-2 business days

Answer: (C)

Processing accommodation requests involves reviewing documentation, confirming eligibility, and coordinating with the testing provider. Because this review requires careful verification and sometimes back-and-forth with the applicant, the typical turnaround is seven to ten business days after a complete submission. This window allows for thorough evaluation while still providing timely access to accommodations.

If additional information is needed or the submission isn’t complete, the timeline can extend beyond this range. Submitting all required forms and supporting documentation helps keep the process within the usual seven to ten business days. The other options fall outside the common timeframe: one to two days is generally too short for a proper review, five to seven days may be optimistic, and fourteen to twenty-one days is longer than the standard processing period.
