Students can get a head start on completing a college admissions requirement by registering now for the September ACT test.
The early registration deadline for the September 19, 2026, test is August 14, with the late registration deadline on September 1. Registration takes about 30 minutes to complete and requires students to register online, pay the fee, and upload a recent photo.
Fees for the test are listed on the registration page and include reports to the student, the high school, and the college. Some students may be eligible for a fee waiver.
A photo is required for identification and test security purposes. If a student fails to upload a photo, they will be turned away from taking the test on their registered date.
The September ACT testing date is one of seven test dates each year, so students have an opportunity to retake the test to try to increase their score.
