I missed the regular registration deadline for the ACT, and now I have to pay the late registration fee. Does anyone know how much extra it costs for late registration? And is there any way to get a fee waiver for this? Thanks for the help!
I understand that it can be frustrating to miss the regular registration deadline for the ACT. As for the late registration fee, it's an additional $35, on top of the regular registration fee. For the 2022-2023 academic year, the standard ACT fee (no writing) is $60, while the ACT with writing is $80. With the late fee added, these amounts become $95 and $115, respectively.
Regarding fee waivers, the ACT does provide them for eligible students, but unfortunately, they do not cover late registration fees. The fee waiver would only apply to the basic registration fee. To get a fee waiver, you would have to reach out to your high school counselor, who can provide the necessary information and forms if you meet the eligibility criteria.
If you're unable to get a fee waiver or cover the late fee, consider looking into future test dates to ensure you register on time. Remember to mark the deadlines in your calendar to avoid missing them again. Best of luck!
