Alternative Testing


Testing accommodations may include additional time, a distraction-reduced environment, and the use of assistive technology on your exams. Proctoring can be done in our office or over Zoom if you are enrolled in a synchronous online class.

If your exam is a take-home exam, you do not need to submit a test request below. If you need space or a computer to take an exam, a space may be available. Please reach out to us by email at @email with any questions. 

Eligibility

  1. Have you requested your accommodation letters? As soon as you enroll in a class, you need to request an accommodation letter from your counselor or learning disability specialist.

  2. Have you completed the OSS Alternative Testing Terms of Service Form  this semester? This covers your responsibilities when testing in OSS and needs to be done once per semester. You will not be able to test in OSS until it is completed. 

Requesting Your Exams

When both requirements above are satisfied, you are now ready to start scheduling your exams.

  • All exam requests must be made using the OSS Test Request Form
  • You must submit a form for EVERY exam you plan to take in OSS
