[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your college student has an extended time accommodation  do they need to account for that “time and a half for exams” when choosing their other classes?

or are they able to schedule their extended time exam session either before or after the regular test start time if another of their courses is immediately after the class where they have a time accommodation? Thanks! [/quote]

My child has an accommodation for time-and-a-half and they take their exams at the school's testing center - not in their actual classroom the day of the exam. So via submitted forms done prior to the exam,  the professor has already provided the testing center with the exam and my student goes directly there to take it.

The issue is the coordination of making sure your student submits the form requests to use their accommodation for each and every exam before the deadline. In my child's case, it must all be set up 1 week prior. This may not sound like a big deal to do but take a student with challenging executive function issues, add in that they are already stretched thin especially at midterm and final exam time and you can see how it all becomes just one more thing for them to navigate. Not impossible of course, but again one more thing.[/quote]
