Exam Accommodations

Exam Accommodations

In your meeting with a disability adviser, you can discuss what reasonable adjustments you require for formal exams, based on your current diagnosis.

Some examples of reasonable adjustments/exam accommodations are:

• Additional time
• Rest Breaks
• Reader and/or Scribe,
• Smaller or separate room.

Once you have agreed this with your adviser, they will include this in your Student Support Plan.

Our Examination Department will require 4 weeks to put exam accommodations in place, they will not receive exam accommodation requests from the Disability Support Team until the following has been received:

• Appropriate medical evidence
• Signed and completed Permissions Form
• Student Support Plan approved by the student

Please note.

Receiving a Diagnostic Report for an SpLD does not automatically allow you additional time, you must speak with an adviser to approve this.

There are certain types of exams for which extra time cannot be given, due to professional competency standards. These include practical exams such as OSCE’s.
