[nabs-l] DSS Question

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello Vejas,

I think every college does things a little differently when it comes to providing accommodations. I feel like the current set up my college uses for testing accommodations is a bit complicated as the testing center and the disabilities office are no longer located in the same building on campus.

Anyway, professors at my college can drop off tests and quizzes in the testing center any time before the test or quiz is scheduled to take place in class. However, if I want to use a reader from the disabilities office to read the test or quiz, then I need to set up this accommodation one business week before the date of the test or quiz. The disabilities office is responsible for obtaining the test or quiz from the testing center before I am scheduled to take a test or quiz with them.

Since my schedule is usually rather busy, I try to schedule all my tests and quizzes near the beginning of the semester shortly after receiving the syllabus with the test and quiz dates on it during the first day of class. This way I have a greater chance of being able to take the tests and quizzes when I would like to be able to take them.

I hope this answers your question.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Subject: [nabs-l] DSS Question

Hi All,
I was just curious of other peoples' schools' DSS policies relating to this.
Whenever I want to take a test or quiz in the DSS office (which I will do for math), I need to have the teacher fill out a proctoring form.  The form always has to be turned in 7 days before the exam, except for finals, which are 14 days.  This just seems like a very long time to me.  I understand that the staff have other things to do also, but normally if I ever need to come in to discuss a worksheet all I would have to do is email them the day of or the night before.
Anyone else have a similar policy?
Vejas
