To help ensure a smooth testing experience, Coordinators should submit orders as early as possible and allow enough time for processing, shipping, and test preparation.

Online Knowledge-Based Written Credentials 
Orders for online knowledge-based written credentials are typically processed within two business days of receipt. Once the order is complete, the Site Coordinator will receive an email notification confirming that online user codes are available in the Client Services Center. Testing can then be scheduled and administered according to the site’s testing plan. 

Paper/Pencil and Online and Paper/Pencil Skill-Based Performance Materials 
Paper/pencil and skill-based performance assessment materials require additional planning time for processing and shipping. Coordinators should submit orders at least three weeks before the scheduled test date to allow sufficient time for materials to arrive. Orders submitted outside this recommended timeframe may be subject to rush processing fees.

Please note: “Online skill-based performance” refers to how evaluators enter and submit ratings for the assessment. Physical skill-based performance assessment materials are still shipped to the testing site.

Shipping Confirmation 
All shipments are sent via UPS Ground unless an alternate shipping method is requested. When an order ships, the Site Coordinator receives a confirmation email that includes tracking information, the shipment date, and the estimated delivery date.

User Code Expiration 
Online user codes for post-tests remain active through the end of the current school year (June 30) to support flexible scheduling. Pre-test user code expiration dates follow the Pre-test Policy guidelines.
