Exam Accommodation Information
Disability Support Services (DSS) asks that students meet with their instructors
at least one (1) week before each scheduled exam to determine how exam accommodations will be implemented.
Possible options include:
- Take the exam with the class
- Take the exam with appropriate accommodations arranged by the instructor. When discussing this option with faculty, please ask them to explore the following:
- Determine if the classroom is available for an early start or late finish
- Identify a department office or conference room that can be used for proctoring
- Determine which individuals in the department can assist with exam proctoring
- Take the exam at the Academic Resource Center (ARC). Information about exam proctoring at the ARC can be obtained by calling (973) 761-9108 or emailing arc@shu.edu
