Testing

How to Use Test Accommodations

• Students meet with a Disability Specialist at the beginning of each term to create a Letter of Accommodation (LOA) and get Test Accommodation Forms.
• We then email a copy of the LOA to each assigned faculty member.
• Meet with each professor taking your Test Accommodation Form. Discuss your accommodations and have your professor sign your Test Accommodation Form. Do not leave your form with the instructor.
• Bring your completed Test Accommodation Form to our office located at 258 Kirby Student Center at least 3 working days before the first exam in that class. Late requests for accommodated exams cannot be guaranteed.
• On test day, go directly to the Disability Resources office to take your exam.
• Note: If a professor and student make arrangements for accommodated testing in the department/classroom, it's not necessary for the student to return the Test Accommodations Form to our office.

Test Changes or Cancellations

• Students must make all changes at least one 1 working day before the exam date. 
• Paper copies of the Test Change Request form are available at our office.
• Changes or cancellations can also be made online using the Test Change Request.

Student Expectations

• All students are expected to abide by the academic integrity section of UMD's conduct code which is total honesty and integrity.
• No cell phones, backpacks, watches, i-Pods, etc. will be allowed in the testing rooms.
• Rooms are checked randomly.
