Testing Arrangements
It is a student’s responsibility to make the necessary arrangements for testing accommodations, by speaking with the professor in advance of the test date. If a reader, writer, or special computer software is needed, please speak with the Testing Center on your campus. Each campus has a Testing Center that is available for all students, but not all Testing Centers have separate rooms for testing in a distraction reduced setting.

How to apply for services
To be eligible for accommodations, a student must satisfy the definition of a disability as established by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Section 504 defines a disability as any person who:
- has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities
- has a record of such an impairment
- is regarded as having such an impairment
- First you must self-disclose your disability to Accessibility Resources.
- If you would like to request accommodations, please provide your campus Accessibility Resources office with A) an application for services and B) appropriate documentation of your disability from a qualified diagnostician or medical doctor that addresses your disability and its impact in an educational setting. If you have questions about your documentation please contact Accessibility Resources.
- After your documentation has been reviewed, and it is determined you qualify for services, an appointment will be made for an interview with a coordinator to discuss the academic accommodations/ support services needed.
- It is important to understand that accommodations approved in high school do not necessarily carry over into college.
