Test Accommodations

Test Accommodations serve to ensure students with disabilities are provided an equitable opportunity to demonstrate their competency of the exam material with minimal interference from their disability.

Test Accommodation may include:

• Extended time
• Distraction-reduced test environment
• Assistive technology (e.g., screen reader, CCTV)
• Accessible format (e.g., Word, enlarged text)

The DRC works in partnership with the instructor to ensure that a student’s accommodative needs are met. Instructors are expected to provide all test accommodations as prescribed by the DRC.  Test accommodations apply to quizzes, pop quizzes, tests, exams and final exams. However, if the instructor is unable to accommodate the student, the student should submit a test request and DRC will administer the test on the instructor’s behalf. Detailed information is available in the Testing section of the DRC Policies and Procedures webpage.
