Eligibility for Accommodations and Extended Time on Exams
Dear Parents,
If you gather new psycho-educational documentation for your ACE or DSLC student during the
year, please inform the Special Programs Department and the Guidance Department.
All students with documented learning disabilities must have documentation on file in the PVI
Guidance Department to receive support services and accommodations, such as extended time on
tests and semester exams.
Any student who has documentation on file and who is receiving accommodations should complete
the SAT eligibility form by the end of freshman year. Sophomores and Juniors who have not
contacted the Guidance Department to establish eligibility for accommodations should complete
the SSD Eligibility Form now. Please plan ahead! It takes several weeks to process this form.
Eligibility will remain in effect until a student graduates.
The ACT also offers testing accommodations. A student is required to fill out one eligibility
form and one registration form for each ACT testing date.
All eligibility and registration materials are available in the Guidance Office.
For more information, contact PVI Guidance Counselor, Mr. Kochis, ext. 317.
Thank you.
