For ACT examinees without a valid, current IEP or Section 504 plan that authorizes allowable accommodations, supporting documentation must be submitted.

Having a 504 Plan or an IEP are usually not sufficient by themselves to guarantee that accommodations will be granted by the College Board (The College Board administers the SAT, SAT II, and AP exams among others). Usually, a new evaluation that specifically addresses the accommodation you are requesting is needed to establish the basic criteria, which include a clearly-stated diagnosis that is supported by current information including the student’s educational, developmental, and medical history. Functional limitations must be described, and the recommended accommodations must be justified.
