Accommodated Testing

How do you know if you need accommodated testing?

You need to apply for accommodations if you have a condition or disability that results in a deviation from the standard testing environment. For example, presentation of testing materials in large print, extra testing time, a separate testing room, or an authorization to bring in an inhaler, water, or hard candy all constitute accommodated testing. Please be advised that having been diagnosed with a condition(s) or impairment will not automatically result in an accommodation.

Note: These examples are not inclusive and do not necessarily represent all of the types of accommodations.
