Accessible Learning Services Best Practices Considerations - Alternate Dates for Tests and Exams

Accessible Learning Services shares some best practices considerations:

  • Students may have one test/exam per day and/or have a day between tests/exams listed as a disability-related accommodation on their Accommodation Letter. 

  • Students with this accommodation may submit a request to faculty to write a test/exam on an alternate date when there is more than one assessment scheduled on the same day or if assessments are scheduled on consecutive days.   

  • Students may be absent for disability-related reasons on the day of a scheduled test/exam. 

  • Consider creating an alternate version of each test/exam that can be used during the semester as needed to address accommodations related to absences and/or requests for alternate test/exam dates.
