To request special accommodations for a testing candidate, please complete and submit the form on this page.  An iCEV representative will contact the district contact with instructions after receiving the form. 

If your district requires parental consent to share student 504 and IEP information, it is the district’s responsibility to obtain that consent before requesting accommodations from iCEV. Additionally, it is the district’s responsibility to verify student 504 Plan and IEP needs and request accordingly. The district should keep records of students' qualified and current needs that correspond with this request for at least one year after the request is made.

Form must be received at least 48 hours before the scheduled exam.
