Exam Accommodations Center

Students who feel they may need accommodations for exams must apply through Student Accessibility Services (SAS). The application process involves providing documentation of their disability and meeting with an SAS coordinator to discuss their needs. Accommodations are tailored to ensure students have equitable access to their education and may include supports like extended time, assistive technology, or a quiet testing environment. SAS is committed to working with students to determine the appropriate accommodations to support their academic success.

Using your exam accommodations involves discussing and planning with your instructor to determine the best approach for your specific needs and course setup. While the Exam Accommodation Center (EAC) is available as a resource, it is not the only option for implementing accommodations. In some cases, instructors may be able to provide accommodations directly within their own classrooms or through other testing options available on campus. To help guide these conversations, we provide a resource that outlines how to discuss exam accommodations with your instructor and collaboratively decide on the most effective implementation method. Taking an active role in this process helps ensure your accommodations are met in a way that supports your success.
