What are Reason Not Tested/Special Use Only codes?  \nStudents who did not participate in the assessment or who fit a unique situation (i.e.-Newcomer, Full-time Homeschool) should be given a Reason Not Tested/Special Use Only code established by the Colorado Department of Education.  \n2. Where can I find the list of Reason Not Tested/Special Use Only codes?  \nThe codes can be found in the College Board Colorado Test Coordinator manual starting on page 85. The manual is located either in our Colorado Department of Education PSAT/SAT Website or in the Colorado Resource Repository.  \n3. Who can submit Reason Not Tested/Special Use Only codes?  \nSchool Assessment Coordinators (SACs) and District Assessment Coordinators (DACs) may enter applicable codes in the Test Day Toolkit (TDTK) within individual student records through April 30, 2026. From May 1 through May 8, 2026, only DACs are authorized to enter codes, and this must be completed in the College Board Student Data Management System (SDMS) within each student’s record.  \n4. What do I do if I have a student who is in my SDMS roster but is taking an alternate assessment (CoAlt/DLM)?  \nThe student will stay in the roster but should be coded with a Code 1 – Took other assessment.  \n5. When do I use a Code 2 for a Newcomer to the US?  \nCode 2 should only be given to students who are NEP/LEP-and-Newcomers to the US as of April 7, 2025-and-are taking the EL Math only version of the PSAT/SAT assessment. For more information about EL supports, please visit our Multilingual Learners and the CO School Day Administrations of the PSAT and SAT flyer.  \n6. What do I do with a student who has transferred out of my school but is still listed in my roster?  \nThe student record cannot be deleted. Instead, the student should stay in the roster in SDMS and be assigned Code 3 – Withdrew Before Completion, and the Release option within the student’s record in the SDMS roster should be selected. This will allow a receiving district to efficiently transfer the student into their roster.  \n7. How do I handle a student who has changed grade levels mid-year?  \nIf a student’s grade level changes, the following actions should be taken:  \n•Grade 8 to Grade 9: The student must be registered as a new student in the Student Data Management System (SDMS) and assigned the PSAT 9 assessment.  \n•Grade 9 to Grade 10 or Grade 10 to Grade 11: The District Assessment Coordinator (DAC) must update both the student’s grade level and the associated assessment type in SDMS prior to saving the record.  \n•Change to a grade level outside of 9–11 (e.g., Grade 12): The student record will remain on the roster; however, it should be assigned Code 3 – Withdrew Before Completion.  \n8. How do I code a student who is considered a Dropout?  \nFor the purposes of state assessment administration, a dropout is defined as a student who is at least 18 years of age and for whom there is clear evidence of permanent withdrawal from the school system. When applicable, the student should be coded as Code 3 – Withdrew Before Completion.  \n9. What do I do about an expelled student?  \nIt is the district’s responsibility to ensure every effort is made to test expelled students receiving educational services. Assessment results for these students are included in district results; they are not included in aggregated school results.  \nIf an expelled student is still receiving educational services from the district, they should still be provided the opportunity to test and would be coded the same as anyother student enrolled in the district if they choose not to participate in the test.  \nIf expelled during the time of testing and the student is not receiving educational services because the student has withdrawn, use Code 3 – Withdrew Before Testing.  \nStudents who are expelled should be identified as expelled within the Student Interchange Student School Association file and that data w","cbCaibRPTVU3nUeT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibRPTVU3nUeT","pdf",318754,"English","# Reason Not Tested/Special Use Only codes\n## Code definitions and where to find the list\n## Roles and deadlines for submitting codes\n## Coding scenarios: newcomers, homeschool, alternate assessment, transfers\n## Coding scenarios: grade changes, dropouts, expelled students\n## Medical Exemption criteria\n## Requirements for part-time public/part-time homeschool students","[{\"question\":\"What are Reason Not Tested/Special Use Only codes used for?\",\"answer\":\"They are assigned to students who did not participate in the assessment or who meet unique situations, such as newcomers or full-time homeschool students, using codes established by the Colorado Department of Education.\"},{\"question\":\"Where can administrators find the list of Reason Not Tested/Special Use Only codes?\",\"answer\":\"The list is in the College Board Colorado Test Coordinator manual, beginning on page 85.
