About the NCLEX® Administration websiteDecorative graphic.

The NCLEX Administration website allows users to process and manage records for candidates who register for and take the NCLEX.

The website provides a secure, centralized location for Nursing Regulatory Body members to view candidate records and to quickly update them, set eligibility statuses and enter accommodations requests. Your Nursing Regulatory Body can see at a glance how many candidates are at the various stages of the examination process and can perform additional tasks such as generating reports based on candidate data.

Although Nursing Regulatory Body members are the primary users of the website, other types of users also use the site to perform specific tasks. Only Nursing Regulatory Body users, however, can edit candidate information.

Below is an overview of the website’s main features:

  1. Users log in through NCSBN Passport (the portal through which you will access the NCLEX Administration Website) using their assigned usernames and passwords. When your user account was created by your administrator, you were assigned a set of permissions for the NCLEX Administration Website, which allows you to perform tasks such as viewing reports, changing eligibility status, or editing candidate data.
  2. Your jurisdiction’s profile contains a variety of settings. For example, one profile setting determines whether candidates’ photos appear on reports. If you are assigned a specific permission, you can edit the profile; otherwise, you can view the profile’s settings.
  3. The Flowchart page provides a high-level view of the exam process and the number of registrations at each stage. If you are assigned a specific permission, you can use this page to edit candidate registrations by their status.
  4. Use the website’s search features to locate candidates by their Name, Social Security Number (if applicable), NCLEX NCSBN ID number, Date of Birth, or Phone Number. After selecting a candidate, you can view the candidate’s detailed information (including accommodations information). If you are assigned a specific permission, you can edit a selected candidate’s information.
  5. Using the website, you can add and revoke accommodations requests you receive from candidates. You can also enter comments.
  6. You can generate a variety of reports.
  7. Nursing Regulatory Body members who mark eligibility status for candidates on a different system use batch files that they transfer to and from Pearson VUE. When batch processing is used, you send import files to Pearson VUE called jurisin files and receive export files from Pearson VUE called jurisout files.
  8. The Cases page allows you to view a list of all Case Reports associated with registrations in your jurisdiction. You can select a case to view and print detailed information about it. In a previous version of the software, Pearson VUE created Incident Reports to document candidate issues at a testing site. The Incidents page allows you to view a list of all incident reports created prior to February 1, 2017, and that are associated with registrations in your jurisdiction.
  9. Use the Lists page to view a listing of all educational programs, locate a testing center or view a listing of available exam readers and other assistive personnel. If you’re assigned a specific permission, you can add to or edit the list of readers and assistive personnel.
