Schedule an Exam

• In general, all exams will be administered at the regularly scheduled time of the class, unless scheduling conflicts exist. Disability Services will need written or verbal approval from the instructor to take the exam at an alternate time. Exam requests will not be accepted until confirmation is received.
• For scheduling purposes advance notice of 2 working days is requested for all exams.  During heavy exam periods such as mid-terms and final exams, 14 days advance notice is required.  
• Advance notice of 2 working days is required to request a service provider or any special equipment needed for an exam.  Please make note in the comments section of request to confirm special instructions.

• Check with Disability Services regarding confirmations of the dates and times of your scheduled exams. Note: You will receive a confirmation email following your online reservation.
• It is the student’s responsibility to verify that the exam is scheduled correctly.
