Students with barriers pertaining to the length of time needed to perform functions of testing (i.e. processing speed, focus/concentration, use of assistive technology, memory, etc.) may qualify for additional time to complete tests and quizzes for their courses.
Things to know about this accommodation:
- Students must be approved and have a current Letter of Accommodation for the semester during which they are using additional testing time
- Additional testing time applies to seated, hybrid, arranged, and online exams/quizzes
- Test/quizzes will not be modified in a way that would lead to an unequal benefit for students (i.e. reduced multiple choice answers, fewer questions, removal of essay questions, etc.)
- Additional testing time is assessed on an individual basis and may differ depending on the course structure, semester, subject matter, etc.
- Additional testing time is not meant to address nondisability related factors such as: fatigue, common testing jitters, motivation, testing taking skills, or additional review of answers
