How can I make changes to my registration?

Log in to your student Web account and select "Make changes to your registration" or call ACT Registration at 319/337-1270 no later than the late registration deadline for your preferred test date.

If you call, have this information available:

Test Center Change for the same test date
If there is a seat and materials available for your test option at your preferred test center on your preferred test date, you will be assigned there and charged a Test Center Change fee of $21.00.

Test Option Change
See, I've changed my mind about taking the ACT Writing Test. Can I add or remove it before test day?

Test Date Change (only if absent on original date)
If there is a seat and materials available for your test option at your preferred test center on your new test date, you will be assigned there. You will be charged the full basic fee for your test option plus the $21.00 Test Date Change fee (plus a $21.00 late fee if you call after the regular registration deadline for the new test date). The basic fee for your original test date will be promptly refunded. Note: If you paid with an ACT Fee Waiver, the waiver will be reapplied to your new test date, but covers only the basic fee for your test option—you must pay all other fees.

Your assigned test center, test date, and test option are listed on the left side of the admission ticket. If an asterisk (*) appears next to the test center code on your admission ticket, none of your original choices were available. We assigned you to the nearest test center, based on your original choices, with a seat and materials available for your test option.

Other Registration Changes (college choices, address, etc.)
Read your admission ticket carefully. If you need to make any informational changes (such as your mailing address), log in to your student Web account and select "Make changes to your registration," or call 319/337-1270. Note that college choices can be changed only until noon on the Thursday following the Saturday test date.
