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
What is the Testing centers procedure and security
- Students are not permitted to bring in any electronic device that sends or receives a WiFi or GMS transmissions
- All students belongings are put in a locker for their security
- Students are carefully monitored by our proctors
- We carefully mark their start time and end time.
