Academic Accommodations

A student requesting academic accommodations must self-identify and register with the Assistant Director of Enrollment, Advising, and Retention at the beginning of each semester. The students must meet with the Assistant Director of Enrollment, Advising, and Retention before being eligible for receiving educational accommodations. At this meeting the student must provide proper and current documentation related to their disability.

The documentation provided must meet the following guidelines:

  • Documentation must be current and provided by a licensed professional qualified in the area of disability for which he/she is recommending accommodations.
  • Documentation must be on letterhead from the said professional’s practice.
  • Documentation should address the nature of the disability, as well as the recommended accommodations, and should describe how the specific disability impacts functioning in an academic setting.
  • Documentation should address the specific diagnosis, tests used in making the diagnosis, and, when appropriate, test scores.


If accommodations are granted, all policies and procedures will be explained to the student. The student must sign a contract that states their approved accommodations and the rules for receiving accommodations. A copy of the contract will be provided for instructors explaining what accommodations the student is entitled to and options for providing said accommodations.

A student wishing to take their exams in the Testing Center must turn in an Accommodated Testing Form. All tests must be scheduled and confirmed at least 48 hours in advance of the test date with the Testing Center. The student must take all exams at the same time that their classmates are testing unless there is a class schedule conflict, or they have been granted permission to do otherwise by the instructor. If there is a conflict, the student must take the test by the end of the
assigned test date. The student is responsible for obtaining all information needed during testing from the instructor. Test monitors will not provide tutoring or guidance during testing. Tests must be  turned in to the test monitor at the end of the allocated testing time. All tests must be scheduled and confirmed at 2 business days in advance of the test date with the Testing Center.

 

Developmental Course Placement Retesting Policy

 

Students who have successfully completed (with a grade of C or better) the developmental course into which they were originally placed on the basis of a placement test may re-test to see if they can bypass the next course level. Students should not re-test unless they are planning to register for the courses in the following semester.
