If your school has a student who is eligible for accommodations and/or EL supports and a request was not submitted to ACT on their behalf by the deadline , there are three options to address this situation, depending on the reason the request was not submitted.  \n1) Qualified Exception to the Deadline  \nThe Qualified Exception to the Deadline (QED) option applies only if the student’s situation satisfies specific criteria and they require the use of accommodations and/or EL supports; scores are eligible tobe college reportable.  \n2) Standard Time Testing  \nThe Standard Time Testing option applies to any student who will elect not to use accommodationsand/or EL supports for which they are eligible; scores are eligible to be college reportable.  \n3) Non-College Reportable  \nThe Non-College Reportable (NCR) option applies to all other students who require the use of accommodations and/or EL supports; scores are not eligible to be college reportable but will be reported to ISBE for accountability use only. This option requires students to test on paper.  \nOption 1: Qualified Exception to the Deadline  \nQED is a process applicable only for students in specific situations that occur after February 7, 2025. It is not an extension for initial or reconsideration requests. An accommodation request may be submitted in ACT’s Test Accessibility and Accommodations (TAA) System for any student in your school who meets any of the criteria listed as a qualified exception to the deadline. Criteria and details for submitting a request follow:  \nCriteria for QED  \n1) Student transferred to the school after the published request deadline.  \n• Must provide official documentation of the transfer, AND  \n• Must provide a complete copy of an Individualized Education Program (IEP)/504 Plan or accommodations plan from the previous school, AND  \n• Must provide a complete copy of the current IEP/504 Plan or accommodations plan. (Does not apply if implementing an existing IEP or 504 Plan from the previous school. )  \n2) Student was identified as an EL for the first time after the published request deadline.  \n• Must provide current English language proficiency test scores testing for all four language domains (screeners are insufficient) , OR  \n• Must provide dated and signed parent notification of eligibility for EL services.  \n3) Student grade level changed (demoted or advanced) after the published request deadline.  \n• Must provide registration system documentation of previous grade level and date of the grade level update , OR  \n• Must provide a signed letter from the school registrar with the effective dates.  \n4) Student was identified as having a new disability after the published request deadline, and an initial IEP/504 Plan or accommodations plan was developed.  \n• Must provide a complete copy of the IEP/504 Plan or accommodations plan, AND  \n• Must provide the evaluation report.  \n5) One additional exception is for newly arrived students from outside the United States who need EL supports but do not have the time to be tested. ACT accommodations will accept an official letterhead from the school stating the student is newly arrived and needs EL supports.  \nFor students with specific situations that occur after February 7, 2025, until March 21, 2025:  \nRequest qualified exceptions to the deadline for ACT-authorized accommodations and/or EL supports in TAA , using the Qualified Exception to the Deadline form. Verify all required documentation is uploaded into TAA, including the completed exception form, before selecting submit in TAA.  \n• Submit the QED form in TAA no later than March 21, 2025.  \n• Students approved may test in Test Event 1 , Test Event 2, or Test Event 3.  \n• Ther","cbCaifjuJM5AWvCN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifjuJM5AWvCN","pdf",245873,"English","# Deadline and Eligible Options\n## Qualified Exception to the Deadline (QED)\n## Standard Time Testing\n## Non-College Reportable\n## Contacts for Questions","[{\"question\":\"What are the three options if an accommodations/EL support request was not submitted by the February 7, 2025 deadline?\",\"answer\":\"The document lists three options: Qualified Exception to the Deadline (QED), Standard Time Testing, and Non-College Reportable.
