• The Faculty Notification Letter verifies that the student is registered with SDS and lists their specific testing accommodations. The FNL serves to notify that if a student decides to use their accommodations for a specific test, they are approved to do so. If you have any questions or need clarification of approved accommodations, please contact the SDS Office.
  • We encourage students to give the FNL to their instructor at the beginning of each semester within the first week or as soon as possible; they may elect to wait until they are certain that they want to use their test accommodations for their class.

    It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to make a testing appointment with SDS at least 5 Business Days in advance and to notify the professor of appointment date, time and SDS Testing Office location.

  • Yes. Professors should attempt to fully accommodate the student in the classroom. If it is not feasible to provide the accommodations in the classroom or department, you can refer the student to Student Disability Services. Please be aware that if you accommodate the student in the classroom, the accommodations must be provided as described in the Faculty Notification Letter. For example, if a student鈥檚 accommodation includes a 鈥渓ow-distraction room鈥 in which to take the test, the student must be provided with a quiet room free of both visual and auditory distractions as much as possible.
  • The student is expected to take the test on the same day and time as the class. However, there are three exceptions to this policy:

    • If the test is outside of the SDS testing hours.
    • If the time accommodation will interfere with another class or test.
    • If the student schedules with 5 business days advance notice, but space is unavailable, an alternative test time may be considered.

    The student is responsible for obtaining approval from the instructor for an alternate date and/or time. If they do not, the testing appointment will be canceled and the student will be referred to their instructors for further instructions.

  • You can approve the student to take their test at an alternate date and/or time which fall within SDS Testing Hours or make arrangements within your department to provide the accommodations.
  • Owl Accommodate is a comprehensive system for accessibility services. Students can access the testing appointment system by .
  • SDS has testing locations on both campuses. Students who are registered for face to face or hybrid classes are required to take their exam on the campus that the class is held.
