Lactation arrangements
Lactating individuals may be approved for nonstandard testing arrangements so they can pump or express milk during their exam appointment.
Notice
Due to high volume, applicants may expect a longer than typical processing time.
Lactating individuals who need to pump or express milk may be approved for these nonstandard testing arrangements:
- Sixty minutes of extra time for pumping or expressing
- Use of a designated space for pumping or expressing
- Permission to keep water in a transparent, spill proof, sports-type bottle with a spout at the testing desk
For individuals who are approved to pump or express milk, PSI test centers in the United States and Canada will provide a private space. The space varies at each test center, but all have a chair, table, electrical outlet, and door. The private space is available to individuals approved for this nonstandard arrangement and may be used only for pumping or expressing milk. PSI will disable camera views and block viewing windows as needed in the designated private space.
Candidates requesting lactation arrangements need to attest to their need on a form with a digital signature.
