Very important to verify students that have prohibitive behavior or non-standard accommodation flagged on these screens. If incorrect, they must be appealed. Students marked as prohibitive behavior or non-standard accommodation will NOT receive a score
Important to verify students who took MI-Access and MEAP-Access are all flagged as SE. If they are not and should be for MEAP-Access, it must be corrected in MSDS by end-of-day Wednesday, November 27
MI-Access Verification of Answer Documents period is AFTER deadline for making corrections in MSDS, so important to ensure students taking MI-Access are ID’d SE prior to that window
Students not flagged as SE will NOT receive a MI-Access or MEAP-Access score
