Below is a list of testing accommodations typically used by students. This list is not all inclusive; additional accommodations may be on a student’s accommodation notification memo. If you have questions regarding accommodations, please contact the Student Accessibility Services office on your campus.

Quiet Setting: Quiet rooms are for students who need a quiet area limiting distractions.

Private Setting: Private rooms are for students who need to test in a room alone, perhaps because of the use of assistive technology, or another disability related reason.

Extended Test Time: The most common extended times given are 1.5x (the student will have 1 ½ hours for a one-hour exam) or 2x (the student will have 2 hours for a one-hour exam).

Use of a non-programmable calculator on exams: Students with this accommodation may use a basic calculator on any exam requiring calculations.

Formula sheets and Word Banks: Formula sheets or word banks must be created by the student in advance of the exam and approved by the instructor. The instructor retains and submits the approved bank or formula sheet with the exam. More formulas or word choices than are necessary should be included on the list. Word banks are used for multiple-choice exam questions.

Write directly on test/transfer to Scantron: Allows the student to write the answers directly on the test and an SAS staff member will transfer the answers to a Scantron.
