Registration is available on the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, during all registration periods.

Internet registration periods end at 5:00 p.m. eastern time on the regular, late, and emergency registration deadlines for each test administration. Registrations submitted after the regular and late registration deadlines will incur additional registration fees and registration options may be limited.

Before you register. Before your register, please review the “Registration Checklist” to ensure that you have all of the information you need to complete the registration process. Because of laws protecting confidentiality and privacy, only you may register yourself for a test.

If you wish to request alternative testing arrangements, your request and any required documentation must be submitted by mail or fax before the regular registration deadline. See “Registering for Alternative Testing Arrangements” for information about how to complete and submit the Alternative Testing Arrangements Request Form.

How to register. To register, select “Register Now” on the NYSTCE Web site and follow the instructions provided. Be sure to have available your e-mail address, social security number, and credit card information (number, expiration date, and name of cardholder). Enter your name as it appears on your identification.

Payment. Payment must be made at the time of registration using a credit card (VISA or MasterCard only) or a debit or check card that carries the VISA or MasterCard logo and that can be used without the entry of a personal identification number (PIN). Bank cards without the VISA or MasterCard logo cannot be accepted. Additional fees apply for late and emergency registration. See “Test Fees and Payment Policies” for complete information about registration fees and payment policies.

Confirmation. After you have completed the Internet registration process, you will be sent an e-mail acknowledging that you have submitted an Internet registration. You are not officially registered for the NYSTCE, however, until you subsequently receive a registration confirmation e-mail. The registration confirmation e-mail will generally be sent within one business day of receipt of your registration information. If you registered for the ATS–P (video) online, you will receive a confirmation e-mail and, within three weeks of registration, you will receive a materials packet.

After your registration has been processed and you have been assigned to a specific test site, you will receive an admission ticket by e-mail. Print your admission ticket and bring it with you to the test site. You should also print a copy for your records.
