Testing Accommodations
DSS partners with faculty on the administration of course exams with accommodations. Students testing with DSS in the DSS Testing Center will need to schedule their exams with our office using their AIM portal. DSS can accommodate exams with extended time, proctor exams with a reduced distraction environment, provide computers for typing responses or screen readers. DSS can also schedule scribes for writing answers, provide adjustable desks/seating, and rooms with dimmable lighting.
Faculty may also proctor their own exams if they are able to provide the approved accommodation(s) for the student.
If available, students may also use our testing rooms to study, work on projects, or schedule online exam proctoring. Connect with our testing team in Room 7 (lower level of Knight Hall) or by emailing udsstest@uwyo.edu to utilize an available space.
