UH Hilo Home > Career Center

As a part of our mission of preparing students for professional careers, the UH Hilo Career Center administers selected examinations for graduate & professional school admissions and professional certification examinations.

Notice to Test Takers with Documented Disabilities:

The UH Hilo Testing Center cannot grant any accommodation to test takers unless it has been pre-approved by the test vendor (ETS or LSAC).  

For tests administered by ETS (both paper & computer-based), which include the GRE, Gre-Subjects, and PRAXIS, you need to notify ETS before registering for any exam in order to be granted accommodations. You can find more information and get contact information on the following websites:

For the PRAXIS: http://www.ets.org/praxis/register/disabilities

For the GRE: http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/register/disabilities  

For the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), you need to register first and then apply for accommodations. Information on this can be found at:
