Testing with Accommodations – For Students

Tests are administered in Learning Support Services for students who have registered in LSS with a documented disability and have been approved for accommodations. The following may be included:

  • Extended test taking time
  • Proctored in a location where distractions are reduced
  • Readers
  • Scribes
  • Use of assistive technology

Students have the option of taking tests in the classroom, in LSS or at the Testing Center.

Make testing arrangements

If the instructor is giving a test in the classroom or Testing Center, you may take it there or in LSS. However, certain accommodations are only available in LSS including use of a scribe and/or reader.  If extended test time is provided in the classroom (and/or using online testing platforms), instructors must provide this.

What you need to do:

  • Students are responsible for notifying instructors when scheduling exams in LSS (LA 115) or using the Testing Center (SC 300).
    • Please note advance scheduling is required for LSS (LA 115)
    • A minimum of 5 days is required to request a test date to allow adequate time to obtain a test and schedule a testing appointment.
    • Testing appointment requests are now be made through the Student Accommodate Portal.
    • Walk-in appointments are not allowed.
    • Test appointments must be scheduled during the class's test time.
    • Your Appointment is not confirmed until you receive a response from LSS accepting your request. 
    • If you need assistance contact the LSS proctors by email (lssproctors@wccnet.edu) or phone 734-477-8781.
  • Give the instructor at least 3 class days notice of the testing appointment.

Any concern regarding services should be addressed to a Program Specialist or the Director of LSS at learningsupport@wccnet.edu or 734-973-3342.
