*REVISED AUGUST 2006*
Documentation of disability must be on file
with the DSS office in order for students to access exam accommodation
services through this office. Students are eligible for exam accommodations
based on the documentation of disability, which clearly indicates that
exam accommodation is an appropriate accommodation due to his/her disability-related
functional limitations.
Exam Accommodations Procedure
Exam Scheduling Policies
- Rescheduling Exams
If exams cannot be taken at the Learning Center on the same day and
time as the rest of the class, students will need to seek instructor
permission to take exam an alternate day or time. It is the student's
responsibility to discuss these changes with the instructor. Failure
to obtain the instructor's
prior written approval will result in your not being permitted to
take the exam in the Learning Center.
- Evening Exams
Students with evening exams (after 5 p.m.) are advised to speak with
instructors about taking the exam earlier in the day as the
Learning Center offices are not open after 5 p.m.
- Extended Time
At SUNY Fredonia extended time means time and a half (1.5x)
for semester exams and finals. On rare occasions and with significant
documentation, a student may be permitted
double time
(2x)
for exams.
Due to the increasing number of exam accommodations, the extended
time policy for exams will be strictly enforced. If
you are late for your exam, the time you missed cannot be made
up.
