Accessing SSOR

Authorized users order and register students for the SAT Suite of Assessments in the SAT Suite Ordering and Registration (SSOR) system.

Access to SSOR is handled by each school’s or district’s SSOR access manager using the Managing Access tool. Access managers use the Managing Access tool to assign roles to colleagues at their own organization. See the Accessing section of the SSOR help page for more information about this critical step.

Before districts and schools can log in to SSOR, their SAT Suite Ordering and Registration access manager (typically the district or school test coordinator) will need to complete the following four steps in the Managing Access tool.

1. Assign Roles for Ordering and Registration:
   • Districts and schools must establish access to College Board's Managing Access tool. New access managers or access managers with expired access can use an access code to set up their accounts. If you don't have an access code, check with your test coordinator or principal. If they don't have one, contact Customer Service.
   • Districts and schools with existing access managers can extend the expiration date for themselves and others at their organizations to ensure they maintain existing roles and access.
2. SAT Suite Ordering Role:
   • Assign this role to the person responsible for ordering tests for your organization (also called the purchaser).
   • This role will also:
     • Select the number of students testing, the grades testing, and when testing is planned to start.
     • Review and identify contacts needed for testing in SSOR.
     • Review all contact information carefully since it impacts where invoices will be emailed (billing contact and accounts payable contact) and who gets access to Test Day Toolkit (school test coordinators).
   • Important: Districts may review district-level contacts only and schools may review school-level contacts only. If district coordinators need access to review school-level contacts, they must be added in the SAT Suite Ordering role for each of their schools.
3. SAT Suite Data Coordinator Role:
   • Assign this role to the person or people responsible for managing student enrollment data.
   • They may need to work with your district or student information system administrator to extract and format student data from your systems to create your SSOR student registration data file upload.
   • After they have created a correctly formatted student registration data file, they will upload and submit student data in SSOR.
   • If needed, they can submit add-on files with additional students who will be testing.
4. SAT Suite Registration Role:
   • Assign this role to the test coordinator(s) and SSD coordinator(s).
   • They will review registration data uploaded and submitted by the data coordinator in SSOR to make sure they match the students who will be testing.
   • The SSD coordinator will ensure that students' accommodation information is accurate. For PSAT 8/9 only, SSD coordinators and test coordinators may append One-Time Supports.
   • Once these steps have been completed, the test coordinator will register the students who will be testing using the Register Students option in SSOR.
   • After students are registered, they should review the SSOR roster regularly for any students who have transferred from their school and delete unneeded registrations.
