Students with physical, psychological, cognitive, or learning disability that impacts reading, writing, recalling, or organization of information may qualify for extended time on tests/quizzes.
Students who have significant difficulty with concentration or are highly distractible may qualify for distraction reduced environment (e.g. small group). Some students with physical disabilities may need a separate room in order to stand up or stretch as needed.
Computers are available to assist students with fine motor problems, organizational deficits, or spelling weaknesses. Text enlargers enable students to independently read and answer test questions and review their responses.
Assistive technology permits a student to read and/or respond to a standard test. Screen reader software reads the exam aloud. Voice recognition software allows a student to dictate his or her responses as an alternative to typing them on a keyboard.
In cases in which the faculty elect to deny recommended accommodations, students may request assistance from the ARC staff and/or file an appeal or grievance.
