Testing Accommodations
Proctoring of in-person exams with disability-related accommodations is available through the ACCESS Testing Center. Depending upon the student’s disability, testing accommodations may include but not be limited to the use of appropriate extended time, a distraction-reduced environment, computers, assistive technology, and/or adaptive equipment, and in very limited situations where technology is unable to be used, a reader or a scribe.
To determine if you are eligible for testing accommodations, please schedule an appointment with an ACCESS associate through Accommodate.
