1 Services for Students with Disabilities

2 The College Board provides testing accommodations to students who demonstrate a need for accommodations, due to a disability. All testing accommodations used on College Board tests must be approved by the College Board’s Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD), prior to the test. Once approved by SSD, with limited exceptions, a student remains approved for accommodations for all future College Board tests (SAT, AP, PSAT/NMSQT). START EARLY! Processing takes approximately seven weeks from the receipt of complete information when documentation is required.

3 Check a student’s accommodation status online (no need to call the College Board). – See information about all of your SSD students in one place. Print lists of requested documentation. Get immediate feedback of Eligibility Form errors and documentation requirements, when completing an accommodations request. Print rosters showing all students approved for accommodations at any time. Some Benefits of the New Online System

4 Online Dashboard Shows status and accommodation information for all students

5 – Print out a parental consent form and have the parent sign it. – Log onto the Disability Accommodations Management system on collegeboard.com to begin the process. – Note: If you do not already have one, you will need to create a professional log- in account. How It Works – Complete questions online regarding the student’s disability, requested accommodations, and available documentation. – Submit request electronically. – The system will inform you if documentation is required. – When required, submit documentation by mail or fax. – Receive e-mail notifying you that decision has been made; log in to view decision letter. – Log in at any time to see status of students’ request or to print a roster. It is important you create a professional log-in account as soon as possible. Creating an account prior to launch of the new application will facilitate access to it.

6 Online Eligibility Form

7 Additional Benefits of Online Eligibility Form Documentation requests will be streamlined to reflect each student’s disability and requested accommodation. (For example, students with a medical disability will be asked for medical documentation.) Error messages will indicate when responses appear incorrect. This will reduce mistakes, requests for more information and the need to resubmit requests. Online assistance, with links to relevant information about accommodations and documentation, will be available.

8 Online process will be available in late 2009. Check the SSD website and e-mails for more information. Do not use the 2008-09 paper eligibility form after September 2009. SSD Coordinator’s hotline: 800-257-5123. Outside the U.S.: 1-609-771-7137 Additional information will be sent by e-mail to SSD Coordinators. www.collegeboard.com/ssd Note:
