The following is a copy of the Test Accommodation Policy adopted by the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.


  1. Students requesting test accommodations must meet the following guidelines:
  2. Have current documentation of your disability on file with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.
  3. Take a letter verifying your disability to your professors. At the time the letter is given to the professor, you should discuss what type of test accommodation(s) you will need during the semester and how those accommodations will take place.
  4. You must give at least 48 hours notice to Teresa Belluscio (622 - 1500), Shirley Rivard (622 - 2937), or the Testing Office, Case Room 202 (622 - 2933). When you call, you will be asked to provide the following information:
    • Name of class, course number, and scheduled meeting times.
    • Professor's name.
    • What you are requesting - extra time, test on tape, a reader, etc.
    • Your telephone number.
  5. If you make a request less than 24 hours prior to the test, the Disabilities Office may not be able to honor your request. We will make reasonable attempts to obtain the test, but do not assume the accommodation will be provided. The sooner you can inform the office the better.
  6. If you can arrange to take a test outside the classroom you are expected to start the test at the same time as the rest of the class unless other arrangements have been made. If you are late, the office will follow the policy of the professor. You may be denied the test or a note may be sent back to the professor indicating that you started late.
  7. If you are not going to take a test that accommodation arrangements have been made, you must call both your professor and the office as soon as possible.

If you have questions regarding this policy, please contact Teresa Belluscio or Shirley Rivard.
