If an approved accommodation for the student involves extended time, a separate room, reader and/or scribe for exams, the student may arrange to take proctored exams in an exam room at Disability Concerns. The student's Case Coordinator will review with the student the procedures for arranging these accomodations. Exam requests are made through the Nexus eAccommodations online request system. Requests will include only the accommodations determined for that student's needs approved by the Documentation Review Committee.
When submitting an exam request, the student needs to remember these points of the Client Contract:
It is the student's responsibility to make sure all requests for accommodations are completed and submitted on time. Exam requests must be submitted three (3) full business days prior to the exam date. The student will be notified of the date final exam requests must be submitted each semester.
It is the student's responsibility to speak with his/her professor about delivery information regarding any exams to be taken at Disability Concerns.
It is the student's responsibility to have the professor sign an exam permission form (Printable from Nexus eAccommodations) if (1) the professor gives the student permission to take the exam at a different time from the rest of the class and/or (2) if the professor has given permission to use notes, a book, a calculator, or any resource other than paper and pen. Without faculty permission, such materials cannot be allowed in the exam room.
It is the student's responsibility to be on time for all of his/her appointments, including exams. If the student is late for an exam, he/she will only be given the remainder of the reserved exam time indicated on the exam request; no additional time will be granted.
It is the student's responsibility to know and abide by the following accommodation room-use rules:
All exams in the exam room are visually proctored. Disability Concerns will uphold the University Student Handbook policy on academic dishonesty. According to the handbook, if a student is found guilty of academic dishonesty (cheating), the penalty may range from suspension to expulsion from Illinois State University.
