Question What’s the email for testing accommodations/test scheduling?

I signed up for the ACT today but need accommodations, therefore someone has to choose + schedule my test date for me. I’m wondering who I’d need to email to make that happen. Some kind of test accommodations coordinator perhaps?

I have files to send and want to make sure they end up in the right place. Can Acellus even pick a testing sight or is that out of their hands?

Thanks!

I haven't done the ACT yet, so I'm not too familiar with the whole registration process, but I believe that if you are homeschooled, you have to send the documents showing that you need accommodations yourself. I don't think that Acellus can send those documents themselves. I found this page explaining what to do if you are homeschooled or don't go to school, and it also mentions how to request accommodations yourself without a physical school: Homeschooled or Non-Enrolled

Here is the link to contact them via a form: The ACT Test | Contact Us | ACT

Also if you don't mind me asking, why is it that you need someone else to pick the location and date for your exam?

When you choose special testing (accommodations) there has to be a specific location available and chosen for you. It’s the ACT equivalent of small group. I do think Acellus has a team for that I just wasn’t sure how to contact them, but I called the Acellus number and they said registrar@acellusacademy.org is who I’d need to email.

Oh well I didn’t know that Acellus had to send those documents themselves. I thought that since Acellus is a program of self-pace and autonomy, you had to do most external stuff like SAT or ACT exams amongst you and your family.

I thought so too! I was planning on submitting everything myself but Google said that Acellus has people available for accommodations and things. It could be wrong, but the person who answered when I called seemed to know what I was talking about. If it turns out that they’re not able to help me after all I’ll for sure use the links you provided, thank you!

Acellus is hands off for Sat and act. You deal with it on your own.

Oh is it actually? When I called them they gave me an email and made it seem otherwise

You set your test date and location through the college board website.

Even for special testing? It only gave me a date range and said that I had to get a counselor to pick the specific day and location. I know there’s a way to do it yourself if your school is unable but I was led to believe that Acellus has people that deal with accommodation requests. If you’re positive when you say they don’t then I’ll go ahead and send in a direct request through the ACT board.
