This page refers to the process for setting up accommodations for Returning SAS Students (you have registered for accommodations in the past or are registering after having met with an SAS Advisor).

If you have never met with an SAS Advisor to set up accommodations at Lakehead University, follow the Get Started with SAS process.

A memory aid accommodation refers to information that students, whose memory retrieval is impaired, are permitted to bring and use during an in person test/exam/quiz. Students with a memory aid accommodation have provided a medically documented need for a memory aid to compensate for significant memory processing deficits, such as sequencing, working memory or long-term memory retrieval. Not all students registered with SAS have a memory aid accommodation; Instructors can refer to a students accommodation letter for confirmation.

Students may face barriers, related to the functional limitations of their disability and/or medical condition, that may be accommodated by the number of students in a room, the location of a room or the accessibility of the room for mobility equipment/aids. SAS coordinates the appropriate rooms to accommodate students with testing room accommodations. Students writing in person/on campus tests/exams/quizzes are responsible to register to write these assessments with the SAS office. 

Testing Room accommodations can include the following:

Some students may have provided medical documentation that supports the need to alter the scheduled date and/or time of a test/exam/quiz to reduce barriers created by the functional limitations related to their disability and/or medical condition. For example;

• A student is only able to write afternoon tests/exams/quizzes due to the sedating effects of medication; the accommodation is the student requests to write a test regularly scheduled for 8:30 am at 12 pm instead.
