Testing Accommodations for Academic Institutions and Higher Education

As the Exclusive Licensee of ACTFL Assessments, LTI is committed to fostering inclusive access to ACTFL assessments for all candidates testing through their academic institutions by providing reasonable accommodations appropriate to each individual’s unique abilities and needs. As such, all test accommodations requests are handled on a case-by-case basis in order to provide personalized solutions that make ACTFL assessments accessible to candidates with diverse needs.

Requests for testing accommodations should be submitted as early as possible since up to 10 business days (excluding weekends and US holidays) are required for processing once they are received. In some cases, additional time may be required while requests are reviewed and the appropriate accommodations enabled for each test.
