Access and Inclusion Services: Exam Procedures
Access and Inclusion Services would like to provide information on how they came to the decision to hold firm to the already established procedure of requiring exams a minimum of 2 business days before the exam.
Exam Facilitator often processes more than 100 exams per day, each requiring various conversions and alterations to meet the students' specific accommodation requirements. A deadline of 2 full business days before the exam provides sufficient time for the processes involved.
Acces and Inclusion Services recognize that the past three years have been particularly challenging and that the need for accommodations has dramatically increased, which impacts us all. As such, and recognizing that this is an adjustment to what was accepted in the past, they have built in a notification procedure to forewarn instructors before they stop accepting exams that are submitted past the deadline. This is to provide some leeway as faculty acclimate to the firmer approach.
Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions regarding this procedure, please feel free to contact Pat Pardo at ppardo@mtroyal.ca.
