ACT/College Board Guidance

Applying for College Board (PSAT/SAT/AP) Accommodations:

To receive accommodations through College Board, your child must meet the following conditions:

  • Have a diagnosed condition that requires academic accommodations to be equal to his non-disabled peers
  • Have an individualized plan such as a 504 Service Plan with accommodations that has been in place for at least 4 school months
  •  Be actively using the accommodations on his 504 Service Plan

Parents will need to complete the College Board Consent Form (https://accommodations.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/21-22-Consent-Form-for-Accommodations-Request.pdf) and email it to the appropriate grade level assistant principal. The grade level AP will obtain the appropriate Teacher Survey Form and submit the Student Service Plan. 

When you need to apply: You should start the process as soon as possible. If you are not initially approved, you may need time to get a more detailed letter from your clinician, teacher evaluations, and compose personal letters in order to receive accommodations. Please note, the school will only submit SBISD documentation to College Board.  Any additional documents must be submitted by the parent directly to College Board.

How will you know that accommodations have been approved: College Board will send you an email or a letter by mail.
