Administrator Info, Registration, and Deadlines

Communication and CLT School Administrator Accounts

Schools must identify an individual to serve as the CLT point of contact. This person will receive all test-related communications and may forward that communication to other school administrators as desired.

Reminders about deadlines and preparing for test-day are emailed regularly to a school’s point of contact in the weeks leading up to an exam. Administrators will begin receiving these emails and preparing for the test eight weeks before the test date.

Multiple school administrators and proctors may request a CLT School Administrator account. Anyone with a CLT School Administrator account is able to import a student roster and view scores and analytics. Please email [email protected] to request an account.

Importing Student Rosters

Instructions for importing your student roster can be found here. These instructions and reminders will also be sent to your school’s point of contact in the weeks leading up to the test.

Dates and Deadlines

Test-specific dates and deadlines, including print order confirmation, accommodations requests, and score release, can be found here. Your school’s point of contact will also receive emails with reminders about these deadlines.
