THE ACT
You must apply for accommodations for EACH ACT exam for which you register. This includes ACT tests that occur during the school day.
The ACT Organization requires that the student register for a National ACT exam first and then submit the request for accommodations.
You will register for your ACT EXAM HERE. During the registration process, you will be asked about accommodations. Complete that section.
The School Testing Coordinator will receive an email indicating your accommodation request.
You must complete the NATIONAL EXAM ACCOMMODATION REQUEST FORM
The School Testing Coordinator will update your request with supporting documentation and a copy of the student’s school accommodation plan.
Once approved, you will be notified by email from ACT.
ACT accommodations may be listed on your student's IEP or 504 Plan, but ACT must approve the use of those accommodations before we can implement them on the test.
If ACT approves your student’s accommodations, we will provide their accommodations, and their scores will be college-reportable.
If ACT does not approve your student’s accommodations, we will still provide their accommodations, but their scores will be non-college reportable.
You may sign the waiver below stating that if ACT does not approve your student's accommodations, we can test them in a standard-setting room without their accommodations.
ACT accommodations requests require medical documentation related to a student’s medical and/or psychoeducational diagnoses. Please provide these documents when returning this form so we can complete the accommodation request promptly. For information on what documents could be required, please see the ACT website.
You will be notified of your student’s accommodations status once it has been approved or denied. If you are unaware of the status of your student’s College Board or ACT accommodations or if you have further questions, please email Robert Carrington, our school testing coordinator: robert.carrington@cms.k12.nc.us
