News You Can Use: Accommodations for Final Exams – A Shared Responsibility
Your ATC team has temporarily expanded to include a nearby classroom and also extended our testing hours. Our staff will now offer exams until 9pm, as needed, on May 6th, May 7th, and May 8th. Even with these efforts, we are approaching capacity for the 5-Day Final Exam Period.
Students who have not yet made an appointment should check the ATC Student Portal immediately and often for openings. Updates occur in real time 24/7! Please contact your faculty to make a contingency plan if you are not able to confirm an appointment within one week of your final exam due date.
Faculty – If students are unable to test at the ATC, please and work directly with them to develop a contingency plan to implement their DAI accommodations or make-up needs.
All – please be conscientious about cancellations. No shows impact everyone.
ATC consultations for colleges, departments, and faculty are available either online or in-person. Please contact Associate Director, Lisa Macaruso, Ed.D to schedule a time and also visit the updated ATL Consultations webpage.
