Accomodation

Test accommodations are when you use accommodations to write a quiz, test, mid-term, or final exam. Accommodations are changes in when, where, or how you complete the test. Some examples of test accommodations include:

• Alternate Format – such as audio, e-text, or large print
• Extended Time – additional time to complete a test
• Distraction Reduced – tests are booked in a room where visual and auditory distractions are reduced
• Technology – use of computer, calculators, spell-check, or specific software
• Reader or Scribe – a technology or person who reads a test aloud or writes your responses

Once you have met with your Accessibility Specialist and have been granted testing accommodations please proceed in following the below steps to request to write with Accessibility Services.

You, your instructor, and Accessibility Services all work together to schedule and support your tests when you are using accommodations.

Notes

Douglas offers the most bachelor’s degrees and post-degree programs of any college in B.C., and is noted for combining the academic foundations of a university with the career-ready skills of a college. Each year, close to 17,000 students (including 4,210 international students from over 92 countries) take for-credit courses at Douglas. Because of the college’s strong academic base, the majority of these for-credit courses transfer to different research universities in B.C. and across Canada, providing students with flexible pathways to reach their academic goals.
