English Learner (EL) and Students with Disabilities Information

IMPORTANT: Supports for English Learners (ELs) and accommodations for students with disabilities are allowed for the ISBE-Provided SAT with Essay, PSAT 10, and PSAT 8/9 only for students with accommodations needs documented in an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Section 504 Plan and for English Learners identified as such in ISBE’s Student Information System.

Accessing Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) Online
The SSD coordinator works with the test coordinator to administer assessments for students with accommodations. SSD coordinators must use SSD Online to request accommodations for students. To access the system, they must:

Have a College Board professional account.
Complete the SSD Coordinator Form (.pdf/215 KB). If you have multiple SSD coordinators, they'll each need to fill out a separate form.
Receive an access code to link their SSD Online account to their College Board professional account (first time only). It may take a day or two to receive the access code.

New SSD Online Demo
Accommodations Requests
The SSD coordinator must submit requests for all students taking the ISBE-provided PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10 and SAT. Most students already approved for school accommodations through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan will be approved automatically for SAT School Day.
Testing with Accommodations
If a student is approved for testing over two days, they should test on consecutive days. If the student is absent on the second day, they can continue when they return.
All testing must be done by the last day in the window. Students using blue or lime green test books who are absent on test day should test later in the accommodated testing window, there is no scheduled makeup test date for students approved to test in the accommodated testing window.
Supports for EL Students
College Board offers many supports for English learners (EL) including translated test directions, approved word-to-word dictionaries, and 50% extended time. Students using these supports will receive college and scholarship reportable scores.
