The C.S.D. counselor and C.S.D. staff in the Technology Mediated Instruction Lab will familiarize students with assistive technology that may be useful in the test taking process. A monitor is assigned to oversee the test taking process when adaptive technology is used. Scribes, readers, and monitors do not provide any assistance in determining answers to test questions. They only assist students in providing their own answers on tests. Extended Time Students may require additional time for two reasons.
Extra time is needed just to work with a test assistant or use adaptive equipment.
Some students may have disabilities that affect their processing speed and will need additional time to complete a test. When additional time is the only testing accommodation needed, students usually take their test in the Testing Center. When a test assistant or adaptive equipment is needed, students take their tests in the C.S.D. office. Arranging Test Assistance Students meet with their C.S.D. counselor to request this service. It is recommended that students request test assistance when they meet with their C.S.D. counselor during advising for class registration, so the service can be provided in a timely manner.
