Learning Accomodations Testing
The Center for Testing provides testing services for students with disabilities who need specific testing accommodations such as extended testing time, low distraction testing environment, and the use of assistive technology. To qualify for these services, students must have been determined eligible for accommodations by the Committee on Learning Accommodations, chaired by Dr. Craig Smith. In order to receive further information about the process for accommodating students with disabilities, please contact Mike Chambers, Assistant Director of Equity for Disability Services, at 478-445-5931.
To request testing services professors should complete the LEARNING ACCOMMODATIONS TEST SUMMARY FORM and submit it to the Center for Testing. It may be sent by e-mail, fax, or campus mail, or it may be brought by the student or professor/staff. It is important to indicate a date range of 2-3 days for taking the test. Due to the limited space and staff we are not always able to give the student their first choice of time. Once the form has been submitted, the student must contact the Center for Testing for an appointment within the date range set by the professor.
The test may be sent to the Center for Testing by e-mail, fax, or campus mail, or it may be delivered by the professor/staff or the student in a sealed envelope. The test will be returned to the professor by the method indicated on the accommodations form.
Tips for filling out form:
- The length of time to allow the student to complete the test should be the amount of time the class will be given plus the student's approved extended time. For example, if the class will be allowed 50 minutes for the test and the student receives 50% extended time, indicate 75 minutes on the student's form. A time limit must be given.
- Accommodations allowed for the test must be based on the student's accommodations letter from Mike Chambers.
- Any test materials/resources that all class members are permitted to use during the test, such as notes or calculators, should be indicated. Otherwise students will not be allowed to use such materials on the test.
