Updating your Testing Accommodations

If you are taking a make-up test without accommodations, such as extra testing time, you can skip this section and move onto Scheduling your Test.

If you are a student who has accommodations from the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD), follow the directions below to ensure you are scheduling your test properly.
  • To schedule your test with accommodations, you will need to complete the Accommodations Update Request Form with your UCSD email. The form will be processed within one business day, so it's important to plan accordingly. Scheduling the test before your form is processed can result in scheduling the test without accommodations.
  • Accommodations are granted each quarter for every course. This means you are required to complete the form every quarter.
New accommodations don't apply to retroactive reservations. If you already have accommodations but need to update them for the quarter, you will need to

What are accommodations?

Testing accommodations are changes to the regular testing environment and auxiliary aids and services that allow individuals with disabilities to demonstrate their true aptitude or achievement level on standardized exams or other high-stakes tests (Americans with Disabilities Act, 2020). Examples include but are not limited to extended time, reduced distraction testing rooms, and screen reading technology.

Where do I request accommodations?

Accommodations can be requested from the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD). Once you have the Authorization for Accommodation (AFA) letter from the OSD, you may schedule your test with us. 

An AFA letter is not required for a make-up test.

What if my accommodations aren't approved before my test?

Unless you're taking a make-up test, you need an AFA letter to test at the TTC. Please expect to take the test in-class. 

Can I take a test without accommodations?

Yes, if you're taking a make-up test. At this time, the TTC can only administer accommodated and/or make-up tests. If you don't have accommodations nor will you be taking a make-up test, you must take the test in class. Reservations that don't meet these requirements will be canceled.
