ACT Spring 2023 Junior Administration - Test Accessibility and Accommodations (TAA) System Issues 

ACT acknowledges the recent technical issues with the TAA system. ACT is continuing to work to identify the cause of the issue and to restore the system. As a result, ACT, Inc. is extending the deadline to submit requests for Spring 2023 State testing. The new deadline to submit requests is January 20, 2022.  

If a school experiences technical issues such as being timed out, progress lost, or an inordinate amount of load time when interacting with the TAA system, ACT recommends that your clear your internet cache and attempt to submit again. If the problem persists, OAA recommends that the school immediately report the issue by contacting ACT Accommodations by phone at 800-553-6244, ext. 1788, or by email at ACTStateAccoms@act.org. School staff should document the time and date of the contact with ACT Accommodations, along with the student’s SSID.  

If a school or district still needs to begin the work to submit accommodation requests, please start as soon as possible to allow an ample amount of time to complete this task in TAA. Please Note: ACT will not authorize accommodations or EL supports for the State administration if the request is submitted after the new deadline unless the request meets the requirements for Qualified Exceptions to the Deadline.
