Administering Accommodated Exams

Using the A11y Student Portal, students will request letters for their faculty, which must be approved and sent by SAS, outlining that they will be using their approved accommodations in a course that term. If a student is approved for testing accommodations, there will be a link to the Alternative Testing Contract inside a red box that appears in the student's accommodation email.

Please remember that the information in this email is confidential and not to be discussed in front of others in the classroom. Also know that students are not required to discuss the nature of their disability with faculty, classmates, or any staff outside of the SAS office.

Using the A11y Student Portal, students will be able to log in and schedule their own exams for your classes. You will be sent notifications during this process and can contact the Testing Center at any time if you have questions or concerns. You can also view requested accommodations in your course(s) in the A11y Faculty Portal

Students must schedule exams themselves--you cannot do it for them. If a student schedules an exam at date or time you do not approve of, you can click on the dispute button in the notification you receive.

You will provide a copy of your exam to the Testing Center at least 24 hours prior to the date of the scheduled exam.  You can Upload Exams via A11y or you can bring a hard copy to the A11y Testing Center. If providing hardcopy, please bring enough exams for all students who will be testing.  For your convenience, we have a drop-box installed outside the Testing Center entrance to allow you to drop off exams at any time.

You will be sent an email notification when your student(s) have completed their exams. You can come to the A11y/SAS Testing Center to collect your exams, or Download Completed Exams (not taken in blue books) within two business days from A11y
