TACHS extended-time requests
Approval runs through the aligned diocese.
The 2026 handbook specifies time-and-a-half and an October 2 documentation deadline.
Keep the approval email and verify that the assigned session reflects it. Contact the diocese about any unresolved application; do not assume a school accommodation automatically applies.
Register before submitting the request, because the eligibility form requires the candidate’s TACHS ID. Send the form and supporting documents to the aligned diocese, not the central exam office. The current form sets October 2, 2026 as the deadline and states that late submissions are not accepted.
The form identifies qualifying school plans and professional documentation, with currency requirements. Read its exact terms with the aligned diocese: a general expectation of extra time or an accommodation at school does not automatically establish an approved TACHS session.
Approval is communicated by email. The form instructs families to contact the diocese if verification has not arrived by October 9. Keep the approval and confirm that the assigned session reflects the authorized conditions.
If the deadline has passed or circumstances are unclear, contact the aligned diocese for an authoritative answer. This guide does not promise an exception, approval or an accommodation beyond what current official instructions describe.
