If special test accommodations are needed for test takers wanting to take the ACT
Residual, they must have previously registered for the ACT National Test and have
been approved for special testing accommodations. Test takers may then use their approved
ACT National Extended Time/Special Testing Letter to also receive special testing
accommodations for the ACT Residual Test. The following link will provide information
detailing reasonable accommodations and the process for application: http://www.actstudent.org/regist/disab/.
If test takers have not previously received special test accommodations through ACT
National Testing, then their requests must be submitted to, and approved by, the university’s
ADA Coordinator. Please call 870-245-5591 or email jarboed@obu.edu if further information is needed.
According to Ouachita Baptist University’s ACT Residual Testing policy, an ACT National
Extended Time/Special Testing Approval Letter or approval by the university’s ADA
Coordinator is required before ACT Residual Testing with special accommodations can
be given-NO EXCEPTIONS. These requests must be received by the university 1-2 weeks
prior to testing.
