Registering with Accommodations
If you need test accommodations for the digital SAT or PSAT, you must get College Board approval.
Important Notes:
- Some accommodations may be administered differently on digital tests than on paper and pencil tests. For example, instead of a human reader, you may need a screen reader. Go to Using Accommodations on Digital Tests to see how your accommodations will be given on digital tests.
- If you need to change your accommodations, contact Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) as soon as possible but no later than 5 days before test day. Please note that accommodations cannot be added or waived on test day.

FAQ
The registration deadline is coming up, and I haven't been approved for accommodations yet. What should I do?
Register as a standard test taker. If your accommodations are approved, contact SSD to see if they can be added to your registration. Check and print your updated admission ticket online prior to test day. If the accommodations are not approved by five days before the test, you may want to consider changing your registration to a later test date.
Do I still need to apply for accommodations if I've been approved before?
No. If College Board approved you to take the PSAT 8/9, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, or AP Exams with accommodations, you don't need to apply again. But some accommodations are administered differently on digital tests, so ask your SSD coordinator or school counselor if you need to request any additional accommodations.
