ACT Accommodations
The process for an individual to request accommodations on the ACT (other than the April date for all Juniors) has changed. The student/parent must register on-line (http://www.act.org/content/act/en/register.html). When registering, they must request to take the ACT with accommodations. ACT will then send them an email indicating that they requested accommodations. That email must be sent to the department chair of your high school. Together we will login to the ACT system and provide all the required documentation. Both the parents and ourselves will receive an email confirmation of any approved accommodations.
