Students with an accommodation of extended time is based on the diagnosis and the supporting documentation.
Students with extended time are provided with additional 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 Date 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 Date or Time.
This may be required if your course meets in the evening when the SDS office is closed.
Professors can and are encouraged to provide this accommodation directly.
For example having all of the students with extended times come earlier to start the exam or allow them to remain longer.
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 advance.
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 and end times.
