Test Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

Services provided

Niagara College endorses fair and equal access to education for students with disabilities. In collaboration with The Centre for Students with Disabilities, the Test Centre provides testing accommodations, including extended time to write tests/exams, specialized assistive technology, alternative testing strategies, etc.

In order to provide test accommodations for a student with a disability, the Centre for Students with Disabilities must provide the Test Centre with a Letter of Accommodation. This letter includes all pertinent information for the Test Centre staff to ensure that appropriate accommodations with respect to tests are provided.

The Letter of Accommodation specifically outlines any or all of the following Test Accommodations:

  • Additional time to write tests/exams
  • Adaptive computer and software required to complete tests/exams
  • Specific requirements with respect to testing environment
  • Requirements for scribes, interpreter services and/or other supports

For more information, see the Centre for Students with Disabilities web section.

Testing Memorandum

In order to ensure that proper testing accommodations are provided and to maintain academic integrity, a Testing Memorandum communicates the procedures that students and faculty follow to ensure that Test Accommodations are provided.
