On the day of Conners 4 release, all MHS Online Assessment Center+ (MAC+) Admin account users who have Conners 3 Online uses will have immediate access to Conners 4 within their account.

  • The transition process will launch when Conners 4 is released and will be available for 12 months from the release date
  • Admin users must enable Conners 4 through Account Settings/Manage My Assessments. Admin users can also grant their Sub-users access to Conners 4 by enabling access for Sub-users.

  • Please note: During the transition, if Conners 4 uses are purchased and added to the account, the Conners 4 uses will be used first to generate reports, before the substitution option is available again
