Students with Disabilities - If your child is planning on taking the SAT test and wants to use the accommodations available on their IEP, you need to be aware of the deadlines and steps for completing the disability documentation.
Step l: Students/parents complete Section I of the Student Eligibility Form and forward it to the student's school. Student Eligibility Forms are available from Mr. Brown in the student service's office.
Step 2: School officials complete Sections II and III and send all three sections to the College Board (detailed guidance for all sections is provided in the Instructions).
Step 3: Because the College Board process includes a thorough review of information on the Form, it takes 5 weeks from the point that the Form information is complete (and, when the College Board needs to review the disability documentation, 7 weeks from the point that the disability information is complete). Deadlines are established prior to the first test the student wishes to take (test dates and eligibility deadlines are on the last page of the Instructions).
Step 4: A student/parents and his/her school officials will receive copies of the Eligibility Letter that identifies approved accommodations and SSD Identification Number (SSD Eligibility Code), or explains why the requested accommodations are not approved for College Board tests.
Step 5: When students register/indicate that they wish to take a College Board test with their approved accommodations, the students provide their SSD Eligibility Code; the testing sites (usually their home school for AP Exams, the PSAT/NMSQT, and some administrations of the SAT; national test sites for most SAT administrations) will make the appropriate testing arrangements (e.g., setting; proctor; materials).
Step 6: Students go to the testing site identified for their tests (either their home school or a site identified on their SAT test ticket) and tests with the accommodations.
As introduced above, in addition to needing to ensure that all information on the Form is written in No. 2 pencil and the original Form is sent to the College Board, also, important is to double check that every required field on the Form contains an answer. The College Board cannot process a student's request for accommodations until the Form is complete and, when appropriate, all the disability documentation is submitted.Please
