Accommodated Testing

Accommodated Testing at Accessibility Resources

If you have approved testing accommodations, we can help you take tests in a supportive environment.

How to Get Started

Be registered with Accessibility Resources and have “Accommodated Testing (PDF)” on your plan.
At the start of each semester, request accommodations through MavAccess by selecting the “Accommodated Testing” module. Your instructors will be notified.

Scheduling Tests

For online-only tests that do not require proctoring by Accessibility Resources: Do not schedule in MavAccess. Work directly with your instructor instead.
In-person exams: Schedule in MavAccess at least 3 school days before the test.
- To schedule: Log in to MavAccess → “Accommodated Testing” → “Schedule an Exam.”
- For each test, select the accommodations you'll need and submit your request (e.g., extra time, reduced distraction, computer use).
- Tests should be taken at the same time as the class, unless your instructor approves a different time.
- Testing hours: Mon–Fri, 8:00 am–4:30 pm. Tests for classes after 4:30 pm must be taken during these hours, ideally on the same day.

Testing Rules

No phones, smartwatches, or unauthorized materials. Store personal items outside the testing space in one of the designated cubbies.
Suspected violations end the test and are reported to your instructor; repeated issues may go to Student Conduct.
Rooms are monitored by cameras and audio for security and integrity.

For more information on Academic Integrity, go to the Academic Honesty University Policy.

Cameras and Audio Recording

Accessibility Resources uses cameras to remotely proctor tests, strengthening academic and test integrity and improving student safety in private spaces. The cameras are visible and mounted to the ceiling in the testing spaces. The video streams will be accessible only by Accessibility Resources staff but may be shared with faculty or the Office of Student Conduct if academic dishonesty occurs.
