We do not recommend unlimited time unless this option is available to all students. Accessible testing site and accessible seating. Students who may need front row seating include those who can not walk up or down steps, have difficulty maneuvering through a row of seats, have vision or hearing impairments, or have disabilities that affect their ability to remain focused on visual or auditory lecture material. Physically writing the student s answers, verbatim, or filling out a scantron answer sheet according to the student s instructions. This may include large print, Braille, or audio-taped exam material.
Many students can independently complete essay exams on computers.
Some may need technology such as print enlargement, speech output, speech recognition or a spellcheck program, available through SSD by advance arrangement. Quiet and comparable testing environment. Some students require a low distraction environment, especially those with learning disabilities or Attention Deficit Disorder. All students should have testing environments comparable to those of their classmates i.e. testing space free from frequent interruptions, with proper writing surface, seating and lighting. Testing Arrangement NOT Recommended by SSD Sometimes questions arise about the use of other arrangements as appropriate testing accommodations.
