Test Accommodations Requests

Test Accommodations Requests


Due to the critical importance of outcomes assessment as a measure of academic progress and success, students with disabilities frequently use test accommodations. The documented need for these accommodations may be for many reasons. The amount of extended time is determined by standard professional practices.

Procedure:
  1. Register for classes.
  2. Meet with the DRS Director or Program Advisor to:
    1. request testing accommodations
    2. verify eligibility for services, and
    3. complete an Authorized Academic Accommodation Form for each class in which testing accommodations are appropriate.
  3. Notify each instructor of the need for testing accommodations and request the instructor’s signature on the Authorized Academic Accommodation Form.
  4. Tear off carbon copy of Authorized Academic Accommodation Form. Instructor keeps yellow copy and student keeps pink copy, DRS keeps white copy.
  5. Student should notify Testing Coordinator (in DRS)
    1. at least 3 working days before exams or quizzes (being administered in DRS)
    2. seven working days if tests must be converted to an alternative format (e.g., Braille, large print, etc.)
    3. at least one week in advance for readers, scribes, or for assistants
    4. ten working days before the last day of class for final exams.
  6. Exams not administered in DRS, that require extended time, will be administered in the Testing Center, located at the east end of the Library.
    • Questions regarding the policies and procedures regarding the Testing Center should be directed to the Testing Center at (480) 423-6433.
