  2. Follow application instructions and apply when ready to test.

    The ATT will be sent from oncc@oncc.org and will assign you a 90-day eligibility period. If you have not heard from ONCC after four weeks of applying, you should contact ONCC Customer Service. Can’t find the ATT? Check your spam/junk folder.

    You must submit a new PDF application and indicate on question 4 that it is a second attempt using ONCC FreeTake. Your institution's FreeTake Administrator must sign the application.
