Scheduling Exam Accommodations

Scheduling with Center for Disability Resources via the AIM System

Faculty and students should discuss early in the semester how exam accommodations will be provided:

  • Will the faculty member provide exam accommodations or will these be coordinated with Center for Disability Resources?
  • What is the agreed on date and length of the exam?

If testing accommodations cannot be provided by the faculty, schedule with Center for Disability Resources with the following steps:

How do I know my exam has been scheduled?

Log back into AIM.   

Go to “Accommodations” and then “Alternative Testing”. Your exams will be listed along with the exam status.
