Standby registration for GRE is permitted on a first come, first-served basis, provided there is sufficient seating and test materials. Not all subject tests are administered on a given testing date; therefore, standby registration is not available for those tests on that date. If no one has registered to take ANY of the subject tests prior to the registration deadline, the GRE subject tests will not be offered on that test date. It is strongly advised that you contact Kersten Haugse White either at 660.562.1220 or at khwhite@nwmissouri.edu during the office hours of (8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) within 48 hours of the testing date to determine if there is a possibility of admittance as a standby. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT A PERSON WHO PLANS ON STANDY REGISTRATION WILL BE PERMITTED TO TAKE THE EXAM. For further information, please refer to the GRE Bulletin or the GRE Web site listed above.
