ACT: Requesting Accommodations
Please see the information below regarding the request for accommodations on the 2011-2012
ACT:
Review and print out the 6 page PDF, available at http://www.act.org/aap/pdf/ext-time.pdf
Basic Information:
● The bottom of page 1 provides information on the criteria for requesting extended
time, “Eligibility Requirements”: (i.e. Professionally Diagnosed Disability: testing or reconfirmation
of testing within the last 3 years and a current IEP, 504 or Accommodation
Plan).
● The last page of the document provides a chart which differentiates what constitutes
extended time testing versus special testing.
Filling out the application:
● Fill out side 1 (student and parent must sign and date the bottom) and the top of side 2.
● If student needs accommodations in addition to extended time, review the options in
section D.
● Bring the ACT application, extended time application and check for ACT to Mrs.
Christen in Student Services (2nd floor). Mrs. Christen fills out G, H, I and will
compile the student’s psychoeducational testing and 504 plans, Student Success Plans
and mail everything to ACT.
● ACT applications and mailing envelopes can be picked up in the counseling office. The
extended time application can be printed from the above link.
● Remember to include the Marian High School Code, which is 281-718, on the back of
your ACT envelope and check the boxes indicating you have enclosed payment, chosen
a test date and at least one test center code.
If a student would like to test again, on a national test date, with extended time, please see page
