Special Testing Accommodations
Special testing accommodations, such as extended time, readers, writers, etc., may be provided to students with a documented disability. Students who would like to request such special testing conditions must contact the disabilities services office on their home campus (see below) and fully document their disability prior to taking the computerized placement test. This process should be completed at least two weeks prior to the start of classes in order to allow sufficient time for any necessary arrangements to be made.
