We have you covered. Here is what you need to know to take your test:
Tests and/or testing instructions may be accommodated for students with disabilities. Students who have been approved by a Disability Services counselor for testing accommodations and need to use a private testing room or special software must make an appointment to use the private testing room. We request that students make the appointment at least 3 days in advance. Students who need the private testing room AND a reader/scribe to assist them must call for an appointment more than 3 days in advance. A trained reader/scribe will be scheduled to assist the student. Family or friends may not serve as readers/scribes, only LSC trained individuals are scheduled to perform this service.
Many students with special needs require extra time for their tests and take their tests in the Testing Center. An appointment is still required even if the student does not need a private room. Instructors will make detailed notes on the testing referral form with complete instructions for the proctors for students that use the Testing Center for their accommodations. Students are responsible for contacting the Testing Center for scheduling their appointment and reserving resources.
