Exam accommodations are tailored to meet individual needs based on the functional limitations described in your supporting documentation.

Exam time changes due to scheduling conflicts or deferrals
If you need to change your exam time due to a scheduling accommodation (as outlined in your OASIS accommodation plan), or defer your exam due to illness or an extenuating circumstance supported by your Case Manager, please submit the “Exam time change form”.
Issues with accommodations
Report any issues with accommodations, equipment, or technology to exam staff immediately. If you don’t report the issue before your exam ends, we can’t verify its impact with your instructor.
Any time spent resolving the issue will be added to the end of your exam.
Online exams
Contact your instructors in advance to confirm your extra time in Brightspace and resolve any conflicts. Before the exam, check that the extra time is accurate.
You can use your assistive technology for online exams if it’s part of your accommodation plan.
