Procedures for Testing Accommodations

NOTE: Students who are eligible for testing services must follow these procedures. The Office of Disability Services will be unable to provide testing services if the procedures are disregarded. Each student is required to make his/her own arrangements for testing accommodations with the Office of Disability Services at least 48 hours prior to the test time. The student must come into the Office of Disability Services to schedule a time for taking a test with accommodations. Phone calls are not acceptable. Test Request Forms must be given to the instructor at least 36 hours prior to the test time. Upon receipt of the Test Request Form, the faculty member is to complete the form and send it, along with the test, to the Office of Disability Services. The faculty member should send the test to the Office of Disability Services at least 24 hours prior to test time. Tests will remain securely locked up until the time of the test.

 

Tests will be given in the Office of Disability Services testing room in most instances. A proctor will be provided for each test. Students taking the tests will not be granted any more time than that determined to be appropriate prior to the test. Students must leave all books, backpacks, cell phones, etc., outside the testing area. No dictionaries, calculators, notes, spell checkers, etc., are allowed in the room, unless specifically listed by the faculty member on the Test Request Form. The test and Test Request Form will be returned to the faculty member within 24 hours after the test. The Test Request Form is to be signed by the faculty member or a designee to indicate that the test was returned, and the form will be filed in the Office of Disability Services.
