EVERY applicant MUST have the following to register:
• Proper identification.
• Payment receipt.

Rescheduling
If you have registered to take the ACT in the Assessment Center and then find that you are unable to test that day, call 217/351-2432 immediately and request that your registration be added to the next test date.
* If the call is received before the ACT is completed, there is no re-registration fee.
* If the call is received after the ACT is completed, you must pay a $2 re-registration fee at the cashier’s window, bring the receipt to the Assessment Center, and select another test date.
General information
• We report the scores only to Parkland’s admissions office. Your scores will be mailed to you.
• We have National ACT registration packets available.
• We do not have the authority to send the results to any other institution or agency.
• ACT does not generate additional score reports for individuals who took the test at a residual site and send them to any other college, university, or institution.
• If a student tested previously at a residual or other non-national testing site, the retest should be taken on a national test date. If this is not possible, a minimum of sixty (60) days must elapse before another test may be taken at a non-national site. If the 60-day time limit is violated the retest scores will be cancelled automatically. No refund will be made for such cancelled tests.
• Students who need ACT scores for another college, university, or agency must take the test at a national test site.
Call 217/351-2432 if you need more information.
