Faculty Guide: Testing Center
The most common accommodations students have related to their disabilities include those for testing or other timed assessments. Disability-related barriers can have a more significant impact when experienced during a restrictive window of time, so these accommodations work to buffer the effect of a student’s disability without their ability penalizing their ability to demonstrate learning.
Disability Resources offers the Testing Center to support course instructors who do not have the resources to administer their own tests with effective accommodations. Students who have testing accommodations will contact the course instructor to deliver their accommodations letter, discuss if the Testing Center is needed, and complete appropriate steps to schedule exams with the Testing Center.
Important: A student’s individual accommodation letter will include details about their testing accommodations in the Alternative Testing section of the notification. These accommodations provide guidance about how the accommodation is intended to work should an instructor have the ability to administer their own accommodated exams.
