Requesting Exam Accommodations?

Requesting Exam Accomodations?

  1. Log in to Accommodate
  2. Select Testing Room 
  3. Select “Book New Request” option 
  4. Select the following filters for your exam request: 
    - Your class (your schedule has already been synched into Accommodate) 
    - The date range (make sure the date of your exam is included) 
    - The building (select Academic Core for all exams) 
    - Do Not Change the Time or Select Filters for the Day of the Week or Accommodations; This May Prevent You From Booking Your Exam
  5. Choose the date of your exam from the available days.
  6. Type in a name for your exam (i.e. Exam 1 or Quiz 1) and click “Submit Request”

Once your request is submitted, CSD staff will confirm it and a notice will be sent to your professor to log in to Accommodate to provide the necessary information about the exam. 

Please Note: CSD can only proctor exams during office hours. If your exam starts or potentially ends outside of our office hours, you will not be able to book the exam time on Accommodate. Please arrange an alternate date and time with your professor, and CSD staff will book the exam date on Accommodate manually.
