Eligibility for Exam Accommodations

Students requesting exam accommodations must meet with a CDRC Accessibility Advisor to determine eligibility based upon appropriate disability documentation and CDRC completed program intake procedures. (See: Requesting Accommodations)

General Exam Accommodation Information

Approved exam accommodations may include the following:

• Extended Exam Time:
  Typically this accommodation is time + one-half (x1.5) though can be up to double time (x2.0) if justified because of disability-related functional limitations
• Noise-Reduced Environment
• Use of Computers (with or without Assistive Technologies)
• Assistive Technologies:
  • Software:  Screen reading, screen magnification, text-to-speech, voice recognition
  • Hardware:  CCTV, alternate pointing devices, alternate keyboards
• Exam Reader/Scribe:
  A scribe and/or reader may be authorized for students with physical limitations when technology cannot be used effectively in a testing environment.  Approval of a scribe and/or reader is on a case-by-case and class-by-class basis.  Every effort is made to enable the student to be as independent as possible; therefore, the use of technology may be recommended instead of using a reader/scribe.
