Accommodations: When you register with Accommodated Testing Services to have your accommodations coordinated for an on-campus assessment, you will receive all of the accommodations outlined in your academic accommodation plan, as authorized by Accessibility Services.
Location: Most on-campus accommodated assessments are administered at the University of Toronto's Exam Centre at 255 McCaul Street, Exam Room 340. Alternate locations may be used during midterm and final assessment periods.
Date/Time: Most on-campus accommodated assessments are scheduled on the same date and at the same time as the class sitting of the assessment. Accommodated Testing Services will reschedule your assessment automatically if necessitated by your accommodations (e.g. AM Writing Only, PM Writing Only, One Test/Exam Per Day, etc.) or administrative considerations (e.g. Exam Centre closure at 10:30 PM, space and equipment availability).
When your accommodations have been coordinated for your on-campus assessment, Accommodated Testing Services will send you a confirmation e-mail. Typically, you will receive this e-mail one to two business days prior to your assessment.
Always read your confirmation e-mail carefully, specifically noting your accommodated assessment location (which will be separate from your classmates) and start time (which may be different than the original, non-accommodated assessment start time).
If you have not yet received a confirmation e-mail from Accommodated Testing Services by 12:00 PM noon one business day prior to your on-campus assessment, please e-mail Accommodated Testing Services to inquire about the status of your assessment accommodations.
Health Screening: Before coming to campus, it is recommended that you complete a health screening using the Provincial health screening tool.
I am authorized for an academic accommodation plan by Accessibility Services. Will my accommodations be automatically coordinated for all of my on-campus assessments?
No. You opt-in to your accommodations on a per-assessment basis by registering with Accommodated Testing Services.
Does Accommodated Testing Services know what my accommodations are?
Yes. Accommodated Testing Services has access to the part of your Accessibility Services file that includes your academic accommodation plan.
Can I just ask the course instructor to give me extra writing time during my in-class assessments?
No. By design, your Letter of Accommodation does not inlude your quiz, test, exam, or online assessment accommodations. This is because Accommodated Testing Services, not individual course instructors or other course staff, coordinates these accommodations.
I have a question about on-campus assessment accommodations. Who should I contact?
