Student Responsibilities

ONCE YOUR INSTRUCTOR RECEIVES YOUR LETTER OF ACCOMMODATION, you must meet with your instructor to discuss your accommodations, especially test accommodations. You and your instructor will determine whether the instructor or ODA will administer your exams.

If you are taking accommodated exams with your instructor, you are responsible for the following:

  • Request Letters of Accommodation as early as possible in the semester. 
  • Meet with your instructors to discuss the process for how testing accommodations will be provided.
  • Remind faculty of your exam accommodations at least one week in advance of EACH exam. Be sure to get the following exam information: date, time, location, special instructions.

If you are taking exam in the ODA Testing Center, you are responsible for the following:

  • Request Letters of Accommodation as early as possible in the semester. 
  • Meet with your instructors to discuss the process for how testing accommodations will be provided by instructor.  IMPORTANT NOTE: Instructor must complete "ALTERNATIVE TESTING AGREEMENT" in AIM Instructor Portal.
  • Remind faculty of your exam accommodations at least one week in advance of EACH exam to send your test to ODA.
  • Schedule exams and quizzes through ODA's AIM Student Portal at least one week advance of each test, and at a date and time that is approved by your instructor.
  • Schedule FINAL EXAMS through ODA's AIM Student Services at least 3 weeks before the start of final exams.

Remember when Scheduling Exams:

  • Exam requests submitted less than one week in advance may be denied. Every attempt will be made to provide a testing space, but there are unique situations in which late requests may be denied.
  • Requests to reschedule an existing exam appointment must be submitted at least 3 days in advance. Reschedule requests submitted less than 3 days in advance may be denied. Again, every attempt will be made to provide a testing space.
