Does NHA Require Exam Registration Deadlines?

Yes, NHA requires exam application deadline dates to be at least 8 days prior to a selected exam date to ensure proctors, candidates, and our staff are all properly prepared for your exam day. Starting January 1, 2026, we will no longer have the ability to accommodate any exam registration request that is less than 8 days from the desired exam date.

We know that test day can be stressful and by avoiding last-minute registrations we can give your students one less thing to worry about prior to their exam.

Adequate registration time allows:

• Candidates and proctors to enter test day with the best mindset by avoiding last minute registrations

• Our team to review exam hosts and rosters to ensure exam security

• Alignment with our accreditation status
