(d) The Clerk shall provide the forms necessary to complete a request for non-standard testing accommodations. (e) An applicant who becomes disabled after timely filing his or her application may submit a late request for non-standard testing accommodations after the application deadline if the applicant's application for the Hawai'i Bar Examination is complete in all other respects, and the applicant promptly submits a written request for non-standard testing accommodations, written certified medical documentation of the need for the non-standard accommodations that provides the nature and extent of the disability, the date the disability arose, and the non-standard testing accommodations requested.
