How to accommodate exams for students
Exam accommodations are intended to remove the effects of a disability on a student's demonstration of knowledge and skills. Accommodations are based on a student's documented disability.
Ideally, departments arrange for students to write accommodated exams within their own facilities. However, students requiring specialized services, equipment, or settings that cannot be reasonably provided by a department may arrange to write exams through the DRC which provides exam invigilation and implements the University's exam policies.
