Students have received an email from OSS and instructed to continue to email [email protected] to schedule exams or for any questions regarding the use of accommodations while testing.
During this transition, please feel free to contact OSS by emailing our office: [email protected] with any questions related to accommodated test administration.
As a reminder, accommodations for exams refer to any approved accommodations that are listed on the semester based Letter of Accommodation. This can include: extended time, private room, use of a scribe, use of a reader or use of assistive technology. Students who are eligible to use any of these accommodations must be registered with OSS. Students are instructed to submit their Letter of Accommodation to faculty and then discuss how exams will be administered. Students eligible for accommodations for test taking have been instructed to contact OSS in advance ( a minimum of 2 business days) to schedule an appointment. OSS will not provide same day appointments. Appointments can be made by emailing: [email protected]. A confirmation email will be sent to students once a test date has been arranged.
