Testing Accommodations
Proctoring of in-person exams with disability-related accommodations is available through our Accommodated Testing Center with the permission of the instructor. 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.
