Determination of exam accommodations is made after reviewing documentation of a disability and the effects of the disability in a test taking situation. Accommodations are determined so as to minimize the disability, not to give the student with a disability an advantage. Faculty should express any concerns regarding exam accommodations to an OALA staff who can verify the appropriateness of the requested accommodation and provide assistance to both the student and faculty.
