The Exam Accommodation Center (EAC)

The Exam Accommodation Center (EAC) is located in the Hixson-Lied Student Success Center. The EAC has no affiliation with the testing centers on campus, and students are required to meet with an accessibility coordinator prior to working with their instructors to schedule future exams and quizzes in the EAC. The EAC is a service that offers support to instructors who must legally implement testing accommodations that would require alternative testing locations or assistive technology.

If the exam is not in the possession of EAC staff at the scheduled start time, attempts will be made to contact the instructor and department via e-mail and telephone.
The student will be required to remain in the exam accommodations center for 15 minutes as EAC staff attempt to locate a copy of the exam
If the exam is not located within 15 minutes of the scheduled exam start time, the student will be allowed to leave the testing center.The Professor/Instructor will be responsible for rescheduling the student’s accommodated exam.

Accommodations in Canvas Exams

EAC staff do not have access to your Canvas courses. Therefore, instructors are responsible for altering canvas exams for students with accommodations.
Extending Time in Canvas
Extended time accommodations for Canvas exams must be set directly within Canvas by the course instructor. While RegisterBlast adjusts the scheduling window for students, it does not modify the duration a student is allowed to have the Canvas exam open. Instructors must ensure the time is correctly extended on the Canvas exam itself.
Important: If the time is not properly extended within Canvas, instructors will be responsible for addressing the issue, including providing alternative opportunities for students to complete the exam.
