Registering Students in SSOR

Steps to Complete Validation

Test coordinators should reserve one week to finalize these final two steps to complete student registration. After schools and districts upload data files with test taker information to the SAT Suite Ordering and Registration (SSOR) system, schools follow these two steps to validate the data uploaded is accurate and register students securely before test day.

Test Coordinator and SSD Coordinator

These are the SAT Suite registration role(s). See Accessing SSOR for more details.

1. Review Data Before Registering Students
   • Test coordinator reviews the uploaded registration data to verify that they are accurate, corrects any records with errors, manually adds any missing students, and deletes any students who are no longer testing.
   • If there's a large number of students missing from their roster (e.g., an entire grade of students are missing), the test coordinator can do the following:
     • If their school's data coordinator initially uploaded the data for the school, they can reach out to their data coordinator and request that they submit an add-on file with the missing records.
     • If their district initially uploaded data for their school, they can reach out to their district and request that they submit an add-on file with the missing records.
   • SSD coordinator reviews student data to ensure accommodations are accurate and adds accommodations as needed.
2. Register Students
   • Test Coordinator selects students and clicks Register Students in SSOR to register each student for the test.
   • Once registered, student data are sent to Test Day Toolkit within 1 full business day. While data are processing, student records will appear "locked" in SSOR and their student profile cards can't be opened.
   • Districts can also view all students available in their schools' online registration rosters.
     • They may make data corrections, add or delete students, and/or register students on behalf of their school(s).
     • Schools and districts can confirm who created a student's record and the last person to update a student's record by drilling into the student record and viewing the information there.

Students must be registered in the SAT Suite Ordering and Registration (SSOR) system for digital testing before their testing start date. SAT Suite registration is available in the SSOR system beginning in September for fall testing and February for spring testing.

To access SSOR for registration, you must be assigned the appropriate role(s) by your organization's SSOR access manager. More information on this process can be found in the SSOR Help Center, under the "Accessing" section.
