Expiration Rules For the CAASPP and ELPAC

Expiration Rules For the CAASPP and ELPAC, each test must be completed within a certain number of calendar days after the student logs on to the test for the first time. If a student’s test expires before the student is able to submit it, please contact the site or local educational agency (LEA) coordinator so that the coordinator may submit a Security and Test Administration Incident Reporting System case for the test to be reopened. No tests can be reopened after the LEA’s testing window has closed. NOTE:  All expiration rules are in calendar days, not school days. The first day is the day that a student starts the test, performance task (PT), computer adaptive test (CAT), or domain.
