SAT/ACT/AP Exam Accommodations
Can the Section 504 Committee ensure accommodations for the ACT/SAT/AP Exams?
No. In order to receive accommodations on these assessments, students must go through the testing organization’s application process. The testing organization will make independent determination of whether accommodations on college entrance exams will be permitted. If there is a requirement for additional assessment data, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to provide that data. Public school systems are not responsible to provide testing in order for students to apply for accommodations on tests administered by other entities. Parents/guardians should contact the campus counselor to start the application process.Resources :
