Testing Accommodations

Who is eligible?
Potential students* and enrolled students who have met with UACCB Access & Testing Services and are eligible for testing accommodations will receive an Accommodation Letter detailing the arrangements. Potential students* include those who need an accommodated Accuplacer.

Scheduling
Eligible students should schedule tests to occur on the same day and time they will be given in class. Adjustments to start or finish times may be necessary to accommodate the testing accommodations. If an alternate day is required, students should discuss this with their instructor or seek assistance from the Access Office.

Provide the test

Each instructor should receive a Faculty Accommodation Letter from the Access & Testing Services Office confirming the student's eligibility for testing accommodations before implementing them.

Instructors must deliver the quiz or test to the proctor at least three business days in advance of the exam or as soon as the exam is announced in class. Some flexibility might be needed in scheduling due to room reservations or oral test recording.

Never send an exam with the student to the Testing Center.

Ideally, the instructor will administer the test to allow the student access to the instructor to ask questions. If the instructor cannot provide a requested accommodation, she or he should send the test to the Testing Center via the email testing@uaccb.edu and include the following information in the email:

• Student's name and course
• Date and regular time of the exam
• Due date to take the test (if applicable)
• Regular amount of time student is allowed for the exam
• Specify ALL exam accommodations listed on the accommodation letter
• Specify any items allowed during testing (e.g. textbook, note cards, notes, calculator, etc.)
• Provide instructor's email or mobile number for student questions during the exam
• Indicate how the test should be returned to the instructor (pick up, mailbox, or scanned and emailed)

While there is a general process for test provision and scheduling, additional communication between the Testing Center, student, and instructor may be necessary to coordinate accommodations.

Online exams
All test accommodations apply to online courses. If unsure how to accommodate an online quiz or test, please contact us or your academic dean for guidance. The UACCB Center for Teaching & Excellence may also assist.

Tardiness
The test proctor will wait 15 minutes beyond the scheduled time. After that, the untaken test may be returned to the instructor. Make-up tests should be approved by the instructor.

Student check-in
