What test accommodations are available for students with disabilities?
Test accommodations are individually determined for each student based on the specific impact the student’s disability has on the test process. The student will present you with a test accommodation verification memo that will list the accommodations necessary for that student. Accommodations can include but are not limited to: extended time, low-distraction environment, calculator, spell check, private room, reader, writer, interpreter, computer, adaptive equipment (screen reader, voice output, CCTV), Braille, large print, breaks, and accessible furniture. The University needs to provide any accommodation that minimizes the effect of the disability on the testing process as long as the accommodation does not alter any essential feature of the curriculum and is not prohibitively expensive.
