SDS Testing Accommodation

Students with an accommodation of extended time is based on the diagnosis and the supporting documentation

  • Students with extended time are provided with addition processing time to complete Quizzes and exams
  • This does not include in-class and out of class assignments

How do we provide this accommodation ?

  • Students have the option to use their accommodation or not
    • If a student chooses not to use their accommodation that is their right, the same as it is their right to represent themselves in court.
    • If a student chooses to use their accommodation they must take the exam the same Day and Time as the rest of the class
      • The Professor of the course is the only person that can authorize us to change the exam time or day
      • This may be required if your course meets in the evening as the SDS office closes
      • Professors can and are encouraged to provide this accommodation directly
        • For example having all of the students with extended time come earlier to start the exam or allow them to stay after
  • When a Student chooses to use the Testing Center at SDS
    • Student must book their testing request in Accommodate (our online management software) 2 Business Days in advanced
    • Once this booking request is received it is reviewed. If approved a confirmation email is sent to the student and the Faculty member
    • In the confirmation email there are directions to the RT system to provide use with the exam and any instructions
    • It is important to list any and all requirements of the Proctor
      • For example can the student use a calculator? if so what kind Scientific or Graphing
    • Unfortunately we are not able to send back completed exams via RT or email at this time
