The Learning Center is willing to serve as a temporary location where ESL students take course exams with extended time. Extended time is defined as time-and-a-half. Given space limitations at the Learning Center, individual testing rooms may not be available.
Because this is not a legally mandated service, students must seek instructor permission prior to contacting the Learning Center.
The Learning Center is located in a wireless building and due to advanced technology of some translators, students taking exams at the Learning Center will only be allowed use of book dictionaries for translation purposes.
Procedure for requesting exam accommodations:
1. Student requests permission from faculty to take extended time exam at the Learning Center.
2. Student contacts Learning Center two class periods prior to exam to request space. Students must have class information (day and time of exam and instructor name).
3. Extended test time must be scheduled at the same time of class when possible.
4. Instructor must approve any alternate test time.
5. Instructor must approve the use of a book dictionary.
6. Learning Center will contact instructor to confirm his/her permission and to make arrangements for exam pick up and drop off.
7. Student reports to the Learning Center on test date.
