Testing Accommodations

Testing with accommodations means any modifications made to the tests or testing environment that allow students the ability to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in a testing situation.

Requesting Testing Accommodations

If you require an accommodation for testing, a Letter of Accommodation must be on file with OAS Student Access Coordinator before any testing accommodations will be provided.

These forms may be obtained from the Office of Accessibility Services.
