Students with accommodated extra time writing in person/on campus tests/quizzes/exams are responsible to register to write these assessments with the SAS office. 

• SAS manages each individual student’s accommodated time ensuring the integrity of the test/exam/quiz with trained invigilators.

• Students can choose to write an assessment with their class with the knowledge that instructors are not responsible for providing accommodated time or other approved accommodations for the assessment. 

• For more information on in person test/exam/quiz procedures please visit the Providing Test/Exam/Quiz Accommodations by Delivery Method.

Students are responsible to email their instructor to request accommodated extra time for a bell ringer assessment prior to the bell ringer assessment. 

The instructor/lab instructor will organize and confidentially communicate to the student a separate bell ringer date/time for students with accommodated extra time. 

• Please refer to the Faculty Resource - Calculating Extra Time for Students with Accommodations.

• For more information on Bellringer Tests/Exams please see Providing Test/Exam/Quiz Accommodations by Delivery Method.

For online tests/quizzes/exams the instructor is responsible to adjust the accommodated time according to the Online or Online with Breaks extra time accommodation listed on the student’s Accommodation Letter. 

• Students do not need to request their accommodated extra time from the instructor; the accommodation is to be applied by the instructor to each and every online test/exam/quiz.

Instructors can refer to the Faculty Resource - Calculating Extra Time for Students with Accommodations to assist with calculating accommodated extra time.

• Questions on how to adjust the time for an assessment in the online delivery platform of the class should be addressed to the Teaching Commons.

Students are encouraged by SAS to reach out directly to their instructor (in person, chat, email) if they sign into an assessment and do not see that they have had their accommodated extra added;

• The instructor can confirm the students accommodation request with the student’s accommodation letter and make the necessary time adjustment if it is needed.

• From time to time there may be an unresolved issue regarding a student not receiving their accommodated extra time, SAS encourages students to contact their SAS Advisor to discuss the concern and they may contact the instructor to discuss the situation and options.

For more information on Online Tests/Exams/Quizzes please see Providing Test/Exam/Quiz Accommodations by Delivery Method.

Students may have back to back classes/labs that create a conflict in accessing their full test/exam/quiz accommodations (accommodated extra time/breaks) for a scheduled test/exam/quiz date. This can apply to in person or online tests.  

ex. A student has a class 10:00 am - 11:30 am with a test scheduled for the full class time and a class immediately after at 11:30 am - 1:00 pm. The student has an accommodation of Extra Time: 30 additional minutes per hour, which means they have an additional 45 minutes of time on this test. Using all of their time will result in them being late for their next class. Students with accommodations should not be disadvantaged by the use of their accommodations. This student may request to start their test early, at 9:15 am, to allow them access to their full accommodation for extra time and the ability to attend their next class.

• SAS will communicate with the instructor by email regarding scheduling conflict requests and advise the student by email if the request has been approved.
