QED and Standard Time are college-reportable; NCR is not and requires paper testing.  \n\n| Option | Who is Eligible | College-Reportable | Test Format |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Qualified Exception to the Deadline (QED) | Students with qualifying changes after March 11, 2026 | Yes | Online or Paper (as approved) |\n| Standard Time Testing | Students who will not use accommodations/EL supports | Yes | Online |\n| Non-College Reportable (NCR) | Students requiring accommodations/EL supports who do not qualify for QED | No\u003Cbr>(Accountability only) | Paper only |\n\nOption 1: Qualified Exception to the Deadline  \nQualified Exception to the Deadline (QED) applies only to students whose eligibility circumstances changed after March 11, 2026. It is not an extension and does not allow reconsideration.  \nEligible Situations  \n• Student transferred after March 11, 2026 (official transfer documentation and prior/current IEP/504 or accommodations plan required) .  \n• New English learner (EL) identification after the deadline (current proficiency scores for all four domains or dated, signed parent notification) .  \n• Grade level change after the deadline (system documentation or registrar letter with effective dates) .  \n• Newly identified disability with an initial IEP/504 or accommodations plan and evaluation report.  \n• Newly arrived student from outside the U.

No reconsideration window is available for QED.  \nOption 2: Standard Time Testing (College-Reportable)  \nStudents eligible for accommodations and/or EL supports may test without using them, with appropriate parent/guardian notification and agreement.
