Academic Support
Our program is to help students with specific learning difficulties achieve success in their academic courses.
Requirements for ACT Testing with Accommodations
If your child would like to take the ACT with accommodations please note the following:
- ACT now requires a full education evaluation (within the last 3 years)
- ACT requires a current Individual Accommodation Plan
- ACT requires a physician's statement for any medical conditions (including ADHD)
Any student wishing to take the ACT with accommodations must have a current signed consent form on file with the Department of Academic Support. You can access that document here.
Please note that STM does not approve or disapprove requested accommodations. This is the sole responsibility of ACT. They determine the necessary accommodations based on information provided by the office.
If your child would like to take the PSAT with accommodations the same rules apply. The consent form for the PSAT can be accessed here.
For more information refer to the links below.
For all other questions, please contact Brian Watkins at brian.watkins@stmcougars.net, Academic Support Director.
