Faculty Accommodated Testing Information
Please review the Accommodated Testing Guidelines for student, instructor, and Testing Center information related to testing accommodations.
Students meet with and discuss accommodation plans and logistics with the instructor each semester in order to receive accommodations.
Instructors will receive an accommodation plan and a Testing Center accommodated testing coversheet from the Accessibility Services Center when instructors are provided the official notification of student accommodations at the start of each term.
Download additional accommodated coversheets from this link. A cover sheet is to be filled out and attached to every exam.
Instructor is responsible for delivery of the examinations along with the Testing Center accommodated testing coversheet to the Testing Center. The exam must be received by the Testing Center 24 hours in advance of the test appointment date and time.
The Testing Center does not contact the instructor to request exams for students. This is the responsibility of the student.
Exams may be hand-delivered by the instructor/TA or emailed to the Testing Center at the secure email address noted at the top of the Testing Center accommodated coversheet. The Testing Center does not administer exams delivered by examinees.
A Testing Accommodations Responsibilities Acknowledgement form may be used by the student and instructor to help facilitate a conversation regarding the specific responsibility of each in the scheduling of an accommodated exam at the Testing Center.
