Dear DPRC:

What exactly is the process for me to accommodate a student on an exam?

Curious in Counseling

 

Dear Curious:

A student who is eligible for disability-related test accommodations should bring you a Test Accommodation Verification memo from our office and discuss the options with you. The memo will list the specific accommodations the student needs. You and the student can work out the test arrangements between yourselves if you wish to. If not, the DPRC can provide a secure test environment.

If you want the DPRC to administer the exam, the student needs to bring you a FAST Form (that stands for "Faculty Authorization for Scheduling Tests"). You need to complete the "Instructor" section, indicating the regular length of the exam, any special conditions like open book/open notes, how the DPRC will get the test and how you want us to return it to you. The student is responsible for bringing the FAST form back to the DPRC by the published deadlines. This semester those deadlines are:

• Regular exams: one week before

• Midterms and tests requiring a computer: two weeks before

• Spring 2006 final exams: by Wednesday, May 3, 2006

The DPRC will arrange the test space, proctor, etc. You just need to follow through with the arrangements you made to get the test to the DPRC on time.

See how easy it is!
