Exam/Quiz Accommodations
Information for scheduling exams/quizzes accommodations at the Office of
Student
Disability Services
Students who have
been approved for exams/quizzes accommodations are encouraged with their
instructors to arrange to take exams with the instructor or in the
department when possible. When an instructor or department cannot
proctor the exam for the student because of time conflicts or because of
the unavailability of readers, scribes or access to computers, the exam
can then be scheduled in the Office of Student Disability Services.
|
• Exams or
quizzes must be scheduled to start on the hour and between the hours
of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM on Monday
through Friday. |
 |
|
•
Students
requiring exam accommodations for evening or Saturday classes will
make exam/quiz arrangements with their instructors. |
|
•
A
distraction-free testing space is not always available within the
Office of Student Disability Services; therefore, students are
encouraged to bring their own earplugs to reduce noise distractions. |
|
•
Exams must be
taken in one setting unless a professor has made prior arrangements
with the Office of Student Disability Services to divide the exam
into sections. |
|
•
Ordinarily,
only testing and writing materials are allowed in the exam area. To
further clarify this point, coats, backpacks, purses and cell phones
are not permitted; the professor solely grants exceptions. |
Procedures for
scheduling exams/quizzes accommodations through the Office of Special
Student Services:
 |
•
During the
spring and fall semesters, exams/quizzes must be scheduled at
least one week in advance. Discuss alternate arrangements
with professors and the Office of Student Disability Services if
unannounced quizzes are a possibility. Once arrangements are
determined, student must schedule the exam/quiz in the
Student Disability Service Exam Binder. |
|
•
Students should
schedule their exams on the same date and as close to the time of
the class as possible. Exceptions to this requirement may be made
due to the Office of Student Disability Services ability to have
available a scribe, reader or computer at the requested time or due
to a student’s schedule not permitting the full use of extended
time. |
|
•
Students
needing extended time should determine their starting time to ensure
that exams are completed by 4:00 PM. |
|
•
Students
entitled to additional test accommodation, such as scribes, readers;
captioned and/or other adaptive technology will need to request
these accommodations when they schedule their exams. |
THE OFFICE OF
STUDENT DISABILITY SERVICES ADHERES TO THE UNIVERSITY’S POLICY ON
ACADEMIC HONESTY. TESTING WILL BE DISCONTINUED IF A STAFF MEMBER
BELIEVES THAT A VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED. STUDENTS FOUND TO HAVE VIOLATED
THIS POLICY LOSE THE RIGHT TO TAKE FUTURE EXAMS IN THE OFFICE OF STUDENT
DISABILITY SERVICES.
Provisional
Adjustments
For
one semester only, students whose documentation of a disability does not
meet the Office of
Student Disability
Services
guidelines may be considered for provisional adjustments. Students must
submit the required documentation before the end of the current semester
to be able to receive accommodations and support for the following
semester.
