Test Accommodation Requests
Students arriving more than 15 minutes late to an exam will not be allowed additional time to compensate for tardiness. Student Accessibility Services will consult with the professor to proceed according to the professor’s instructions. Whether or not the student can take the exam may also depend on space and staff availability.
