	REGISTERING FOR ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE RICA VIDEO PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

Alternative assessment arrangements may be provided or allowed for candidates who would not be able to complete the RICA Video Performance Assessment under standard conditions due to physical, cognitive, or emotional disabilities. Candidates requesting alternative assessment arrangements must submit (a) a completed registration form with correct payment, (b) a completed Alternative Testing/Assessment Arrangements Request Form, and (c) any required documentation. The Alternative Testing/Assessment Arrangements Request Form is available to download as a PDF document by selecting “Print Bulletin and Forms (PDF)” on the RICA Web site. A description of the required documentation is provided in “Registering for Alternative Testing Arrangements for the RICA Written Examination.” Write your name and telephone number on each piece of correspondence you provide. The Alternative Testing/Assessment Arrangements Request Form and any required documentation may be sent to Evaluation Systems by fax at the number printed on the form.

You are strongly encouraged to submit your registration materials and request as early as possible. The options for alternative assessment arrangements are enhanced when more time is available to plan and prepare for them. Due to the time and logistics involved in providing certain types of alternative assessment arrangements, your registration may need to be applied to a future submission deadline. Because of the nature of the RICA Video Performance Assessment, alternative testing arrangements that would be appropriate for the RICA Written Examination (e.g., extra testing time) may not be applicable for the Video Performance Assessment. Upon receipt of your request, Evaluation Systems will contact you to discuss your request.

All timely and complete alternative assessment arrangements requests and accompanying documentation are reviewed on a case-by-case basis upon receipt. In some cases, the documentation submitted may not be sufficient to make a determination with regard to the requested accommodation(s) or may not support the requested accommodation(s). Additional information or test results may be needed.
