Equal Access and Opportunity

Baton Rouge Community College (BRCC) provides equal access and opportunity for all qualified persons without regard to disability in the participation of all college programs and activities pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and other related federal and state law. This includes providing test-taking candidates with accommodations on the Nurse Aide Certification Exam to accurately assess skill and aptitude, without undue influence from a functional limitation associated with the candidate’s disability.

Testing Accommodation Packet

Test-takers are asked to carefully review the packet and complete it to the best of their knowledge. A complete testing accommodation packet will include:

  • Testing Accommodation Request form
  • Documentation of disability or the Professional Evaluation Form

Note: Incomplete accommodation request packets will not be considered.

Submission Details

The testing accommodation packet should be sent to the BRCC Testing Administration Staff at:

WFAlliedHealth@mybrcc.edu
3250 North Acadian Thruway
Baton Rouge, LA 70805 C214

Timeframe for Processing

The testing accommodation packet should be received 30 days prior to the certification exam date to ensure the request can be reviewed and approved, as well as to coordinate and implement the testing accommodations. All requests for accommodations will be kept confidential, and test-takers will not incur any additional charges for necessary accommodations.

Additional Requirements

  1. Test-takers are responsible for providing disability documentation from a qualified professional—someone with comprehensive training and experience in both evaluating and diagnosing the disability or condition.
  2. Testing candidates can provide existing disability documentation from the qualified professional. Documentation should include the diagnosis, limitations of the disability (ies), and recommendations for testing accommodations.
  3. Test-takers also have the option to have the qualified professional complete the Professional Evaluation Form.
  4. Activities of daily living (e.g., eating, ambulating, toileting, etc.) will not be approved as accommodations.
  5. Additional disability documentation or verification may be requested if further clarification regarding the nature of the disability or the requested accommodations is needed.
