  2. Welcome to the Testing Accommodations Guide for students. Here you will learn how to make testing reservations and utilize your accommodations in the Accessibility Resources (A.R.) Testing Center.

  3. Overview Our Testing Center hosts exams for instructors when arrangements cannot be made directly between the instructor and the student. If arrangements outside of A.R. for accommodations are mutually agreed upon by the student and the faculty, no further measures with A.R. need to be addressed unless a complication arises and support is needed. A.R. supports students and instructors working closely to make any arrangements regarding exams and accommodations. This guide will walk faculty through the process needed to provide accommodations at the Accessibility Resources Testing Center **Ideally, you will take your exams on the same day and at the same time as the rest of the class**

  4. Collaboration Accommodations are most successful when students and faculty are able to work together, supported by the Accessibility Resources staff.

  5. Student Responsibilities • 1. Request memos from the Accessibility Resources office by phone, email or in-person • 2. You are encouraged to inform instructors within the first two weeks of classes that they have accommodations. • 3. It is strongly suggested you make an appointment with instructors to discuss how your accommodations are to be implemented. This is also important for the future to work with your instructors for scheduling exams, tests and quizzes. • 4. Make your testing appointments with at least 3 business days notice

  6. Student Responsibilities When meeting with your professor for the first time, we encourage you to discuss the following:

  7. Make Your Test Reservation • After you have met with your instructor and have agreed upon a date and time you should be taking their exam, test or quiz, you should contact Accessibility Resource at least 3 business days prior to the exam, test or quiz. • Please note this guideline changes for the end of the semester.
