Final Exam Information: Office of Student Accessibility Testing Center:

We hope this email finds you and your loved ones peaceful and well. The Testing Center in the Office of Student Accessibility would like to provide a few helpful reminders for faculty when considering online final exams for students with disabilities at Sacred Heart University: 

• Be sure to add time and one-half or double time based on each student’s university accommodation letter to every online assessment. Directions on how to add extended time to Blackboard exams can be found on our Test Proctoring Page. Students DO NOT NEED TO REQUEST extra time as they are not on-ground. Students should not be “kicked out” of assessments to then request additional time
• If you have students with text-to-speech(reader) accommodation and you are using secure online exam tool such as Respondus or Examsoft, please contact us at jlctestingservice@sacredheart.edu to discuss how to accommodate these students remotely

• • Be sure to provide closed captioning for video/audio portions of your exam for students with closed captioning as an accommodation 
  • Please keep in mind that there may be students who need to make-up an exam due to a disability-related reason
  • For exam preparation, kindly consider providing a review tool (text, video, audio or combination). This will benefit all students, and may reduce answering the same/similar questions as students prepare J 

Specific questions regarding individual students or assessments can be directed to: jlctestingservice@sacredheart.edu or accessibility@sacredheart.edu. We appreciate your collaboration and support. Be well!
