Information for Students

Disability Accommodated Exams

Students taking exams with accommodations must be registered through the Student Access Center (SAC).Once you are registered with the SAC, you can request exam appointments through SAC Online. For more information, see the instructions below or watch our video tutorial.

Students seeking accommodations must complete two steps to initiate the test request process:

  • Request accommodations in each class via Access Online and discuss the implementation of those accommodations with their instructor. If the instructor directs the student to set up the exam with the SAC, student will need to make a request with the Testing Center.
  • Submit exams requests via the Access Online portal with at least five days’ notice.* If a student fails to provide our office with proper notice of an exam, we cannot guarantee a seat in our Testing Center.
  • *Requests for final exams must be scheduled 12 business days before the last day of classes, and all exam conflicts must be worked out by then. Please double check your syllabus and the university final exam schedule.

Yes, SAC policy is that exams given in the Testing Center are administered on the same day at the same time as the exam is given in class. If there is a conflict, students must obtain permission from their instructor to reschedule an exam. It is the responsibility of the Student, not the SAC, to contact the instructor regarding conflicts.

You can submit late exam requests through Access Online, but you are not guaranteed a seat in the Testing Center for a late request. Keep in mind our late exam request policy: 

  • After three (3) late exam requests, students must meet with their Access Specialist to schedule all remaining exams for the semester.
  • After five (5) late exam requests, all future late requests will be denied for the rest of the semester.

Same-day late exam requests (including those submitted after 5PM the day before the exam) will be automatically denied. 

Everything you need to know about the policies and procedures of the University Testing Center can be found on the Testing Center Policies page.

I don't see the exam I need to take in RegisterBlast

If the exam you want to take at the UTC is not showing up as selectable in RegisterBlast, that means that your instructor has not yet registered the exam with the testing center. Please contact your instructor.
