Due to a sudden conflict, I need to cancel my ACT registration. Does anyone have experience with this process? What should I expect, and will I be able to get a refund? Any information is super helpful, thanks!
I'm sorry to hear about your scheduling conflict. Canceling an ACT registration is a straightforward process. You'll need to log in to your ACT account on the ACT website, and from there, you can cancel your registration. However, keep in mind that the ACT has a specific cancellation policy when it comes to refunds.
The general policy is that you won't receive a refund for the basic registration fee. However, if you've paid for additional services like the writing test, Test Information Release, or standby testing, you may be eligible for a partial refund if you cancel by the designated deadline, which is typically around two weeks before the test date. Make sure to double-check the ACT website for the exact deadline and refund policy for your specific test date.
In the future, if faced with a scheduling conflict, you could also consider rescheduling your ACT test rather than canceling it outright. This way, you won't lose the entire registration fee, but you'll still need to pay a rescheduling fee. Again, make sure to check ACT's deadlines and policies for rescheduling.
I hope this information helps and that you're able to resolve your scheduling conflict. Best of luck!
