Testing accommodations can be arranged in either an academic department or proctored in Academic Success and Disability Services; students need to schedule exams at least a week in advance. Some of the possible accommodations include:
Extended time on exams, time-and-a-half or double time
Oral exam
Exams in a quiet place
Use of spell-checker or dictionary
Use of calculator
Note takers are provided by our office. We are usually able to find a student who is willing to take notes, and their notes can be scanned and emailed. The practice is to send notes within 24 hours after the class in which they are recorded. It is also becoming more common for professors to post their class notes in Moodle.
Tutoring is not an accommodation in college, but subject and writing tutors are available at no cost. You can make an appointment with a peer tutor, at redlands.mywconline.com. New users will need to register for an account. Tutoring takes place in the Academic Success Center. Computers and a printer are also available for use in the Academic Success Center.
Accommodations offered through Disability Services are not an entitlement. Cheating or any other abuse of accommodations could result in the loss of that accommodation and disciplinary action will be taken.
