Exams with Accommodations
When a student signs in and they receive accommodations through the Disability Resource Office (DRO), please refer to the following instructions:
Accommodation Guide
| Abbreviation | Meaning | Required Action |
|---|---|---|
| DT | Double Time | Proctor must double the student's permitted time for a computer or paper exam. (Ex: 90 + 90 = 180 minutes) |
| 1.5T | Time and a half | Proctor must provide the student with the original permitted time multiplied by 1.5. (Ex: 90 x 1.5 = 135 minutes) |
| INDIV | Individual Room | The proctor should seat the student in an individual room, separate from the regular examination rooms. At Venture IV, this is rooms D, seats 1-4, and at Cox Hall, this may be either seat 37 or 38. |
| R&W | Read/Write Software permitted | The student will be seated in rooms D, seats 1-4 at the Venture IV Test Center so they may access the necessary software. |
| Word | Microsoft Word use permitted | The student is permitted to use Microsoft Word for a paper exam (All computers have Microsoft Office installed). |
If our office is in receipt of a student’s accommodation letter and it has been processed, the proctor tool will display a call to action for the proctor. Examples of the most frequent call to action graphics are displayed below. What if the accommodation letter is not on file with our office?

No Accommodation Letter on File
If a student signs in and states that they receive accommodations but it is not noted in our system, that means that we have not received a copy of the student’s accommodation letter. Please advise the student to pull up a copy of their accommodation letter(s) and submit the DE/ Online Accommodation Request Form.
