DRC Accommodated Testing Policies (revised August 2011)

revised August 2011

When a Student is a "No Show"
If a student is a "No Show" for an accommodated exam‚ the faculty will be notified and the faculty member will determine if a make-up is allowed. However‚ the Disability Resource Center may not proctor the make-up exam.

For a one time "No Show"‚ the student will still be eligible to take their accommodated exams through the Disability Resource Center's testing services. Students who are "No Shows" for two exams, within a semester for a specific course, without legitimate reason may be ineligible to take their future accommodated exams through the Disability Resource Center's testing services for that semester.

"Final Exams"
If the faculty member can proctor the student(s) who needs accommodations during the final exam‚ we ask that you do so.

If the faculty member can not‚ than it is the INSTRUCTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY to contact Lindsay Jansen with a revised list of the students’ names who need the testing center’s services for their final exam‚ NO LESS THAN 14 DAYS (2 WEEKS) BEFORE THE FINAL EXAM DATE. Exams will only be scheduled for the students whose names have been provided to the exam coordinator no less than 14 days (2 weeks) prior to the final exam date.
