Testing Accommodations

All accommodations are determined based upon the individual and their documented disability.

TESTING IN THE DS OFFICE
Eligible students can receive testing accommodations within the Office of Disability Services. We have several small testing rooms that are utilized for a lower distraction environment and for access to assistive technology. Space is limited so the testing procedures must be followed!

If testing accommodations within DS are appropriate, a Test Administration Form must be completed and returned to the Office of Disability Services.

TEST ADMINISTRATION FORM

Students are provided with the Test Administration form to give to their professor and once completed, the student ensures that the form is returned to the Office of Disability Services. This form provides all the information regarding the student’s exams. Request forms for testing in the DS office should be received at least one week prior to the exam. The form is in triplicate. The professor keeps the yellow copy and the student keeps the pink copy for their records. The white, top copy must be given to the DS office.

Faculty indicates all exam dates for the semester on this one form. Please make sure all information, including the allotted exam time, items/materials permitted during testing, and other comments have been provided.

It is the student's responsibility to ensure the Office of Disability Services has the Test Administration form prior to exams. Students must contact us to verify the form has been received in advance of the test.

CHANGES WITH TESTING DATES

Notify our office immediately regarding any changes to exam schedules.

FINALS                                                                                        

Requests for taking finals in the DS office require several weeks notice. Deadlines will be made available by the DS staff.

PROCTORING IN DS                                                                            

All tests given in the Office of Disability Services are proctored and monitored with surveillance cameras.

TESTING IN THE CLASSROOM/WITH FACULTY               

Discussion with faculty and staff is critical to receiving testing accommodations within the classroom or with the faculty/staff member.
