ACT / SAT Testing Accommodations

Heading
Changes to ACT/SAT Testing Accommodations from  San Ramon Valley Unified School District

Beginning January 2019, SRVUSD will no longer process student requests for accommodations on the SAT or ACT.   This decision was made for a variety of reasons including the lack of space, availability of resources / proctors, and counselors' time. Additionally, students who request and receive accommodations for school-based testing (e.g. students who test over multiple days) will not be tested at the student's school site. Students will still be able to request and receive accommodations on these exams. However, parents and students will now be submitting these requests directly to the College Board (SAT) and/or ACT.  

Please CLICK HERE for additional information and instructions.
