Test Accomodations

Letter to ISU Faculty Regarding Test Accommodations

Dear ISU Faculty Members,

The ADA & Disabilities Resource Center requires each student to present a Test Accommodations Form signed by you before we will provide an accommodated test to him/her. The general procedures for arranging an accommodated exam with the ADA Center have remained essentially the same for a number of years, we continually make minor adjustments, and we want to make sure you remain current with these "fine tunings," so you can provide appropriate accommodations without compromising your academic standards.

We hope the accommodations form is sufficiently self explanatory. We absolutely need clear and accurate information from you in order to provide the accommodations in the manner you have determined is in keeping with both your academic standards and the student's civil rights to a level playing field. We offer these points of reminder to ensure the best results for you and your students who take exams with us:

Students may ask anything they like, but that doesn't always mean it is a REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION. If you ever feel there is some question as to the validity of any accommodation requested by a student with a disability, please contact the ADA Center Director, Dennis Toney at 282-3272 or by e-mail at tonedenn@isu.edu.

Our job at the ADA & Disabilities Resource Center, with respect to testing, is to provide reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities, and to otherwise ensure the exam is conducted within the parameters prescribed by you.

Thank you for accommodating us!

Sincerely,

Dennis Toney, Director

ADA & Disabilities Resource Center
