Accommodation Procedure for Tests/Exams written in the Assessment Centre

1. Review Accommodation Requirements

• Ensure you understand your accommodations and the specific requirements for notifying the Assessment Centre ahead of time.
• Familiarize yourself with any deadlines or additional information related to your accommodations.
• Please note: If you choose to take your tests and exams in the classroom, extended time accommodations are not guaranteed.

• As soon as you know the date for your test/exam (check your syllabus and/or instructor communication), mark the date on your calendar, and contact the Assessment Centre assessment@ucn.ca.
• The staff will send you an Invigilation Request Form. Note any specific instructions related to your accommodations (e.g. extra time, quiet room, assistive technology that need to be arranged).
