Overview and Eligibility
Do not register for a test date before receiving an accommodations decision by email. The formal review and approval process can take up to two weeks once your completed accommodations request documentation is received. Approved accommodation(s) are valid for 15 months from the date of approval. Any accommodations that your student receives are not noted on score reports.
Requests are not reviewed until both the current school statement form and eligible supporting documentation are received. Accommodations requests are reviewed in the order in which they are received. Students who are eligible for accommodations must:
Have a diagnosed disability that necessitates accommodation(s).
Have complete and current documentation that establishes a need for the requested accommodation(s).

Students recovering from a temporary disability such as a broken arm or concussion do not qualify for testing accommodations on the ISEE. Please consider testing at a later date.
