Alternative Testing

Many students have accommodations for tests. If you are working with such a student, please take time to meet individually with them to discuss the details of the accommodations.  The Educational Access Center does not offer in-house test proctoring.

Canvas Quizzes

Time Extensions/ Extra Attempts

Instructors will need to add additional time in Canvas for each student with an accommodation for extra testing time. The same is true for each student with an accommodation for extra attempts on a test/quiz.
