Exam Accommodations

Eligibility for exam accommodations will be determined during the Accommodation Planning Meeting. We provide several exam accommodations including but not limited to the following.

• Additional time on exams/quizzes (including online versions)
• Take exams/quizzes in an environment with reduced distractions
• Use of text-to-speech technology – Kurzweil, Read&Write or JAWS
• Use of a calculator
• Dragon Naturally Speaking software
• A reader or scribe
• Use of a computer

Note: We are not able to modify exams by reducing the number of questions or multiple-choice options. You will be taking the same exam as your classmates.

As a student using exam accommodations, you will need to sign up to take exams in the Office of Accessibility and Disability Resources (ADR). To take exams in the ADR, students are required to sign up in advance giving us at least five business days’ notice before the exam date.

Students can sign up by logging into AIM or by coming in person to the Office of Accessibility and Disability Resources to complete a paper form.

Please review the Test Taking Guidelines for more detailed information on your responsibilities as a student using exam accommodations.

As part of your request for accommodations each semester, you will meet with Office of Accessibility and Disability Resources staff and together can identify any concerns regarding taking exams in the Office of Accessibility and Disability Resources.
