Test
Accommodations Procedure for Faculty
Faculty may take
care of providing test accommodations for students with
disabilities in your area.
However, if you are not able to do so, you may refer the
student to Disability Services and we will make
arrangements for taking tests.
Since we organize test accommodations for about 800
exams each semester, we have a procedure for taking tests
through Disability Services.
1.
Students will meet with the Coordinator of Disability Services
to have “Accommodation
Request” forms completed.
The form specifies specific test accommodations.
Students with signed accommodation request forms qualify
for accommodations as supported by documentation of their
disability. This
information is confidential.
2.
Students will bring their “Accommodations Request” form with
them when they meet with you to discuss their individualized
test accommodation needs.
They will need clarification from you as to whether you
will take care of the test accommodation in your area or test
through Disability Services.
(Please mark the appropriate box).
Note that in some
cases, the box indicating “proctored exam” to be taken at
Disability Services may be marked in advance.
This would be for students who have needs that would
necessitate the use of our office for their test taking
accommodation, such as the use of a reader or scribe.
Please sign the form and keep the white copy for your
records and return the yellow copy to the student.
3.
If
scheduling their test(s) through Disability Services, students
will complete an “Exam
Accommodations Request” form five (5) school days in advance
of the test (please note that it takes five days to communicate
between the student, proctor, location source and you before we
finalize testing).
Should you change your test date, please inform the
student as soon as possible so we are able to make test taking
changes in our office.
4.
If
scheduling test(s) through Disability Services, you will receive
an email requesting your preference for picking up and
delivering the exam; as well as confirmation on the test day,
time, and location.
A proctor will be hired by Disability Services to pickup and deliver the
test. They are also
trained to sit with the student while testing to assure
protection of your test at all times, and to provide other
needed accommodations such as reader or scribe services.
If
you have any questions regarding the test taking procedure
through Disability Services, please call us at
346-3365. Thank you
for your cooperation and assistance in this process.
