Testing Policy for Students with Disabilities

Assessment Tests

Accommodations based on disability will be granted to comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students who wish to seek such an accommodation must be registered with the college's office of disability services.

In rare instances, when no accommodation is practicable, the student may request a waiver from the college's Scholastic Standards/Course & Standing Committee. A student typically must demonstrate: a) a disability, documented by a certified professional, which affects that student's ability in the skill domain, b) a history of disability-related difficulty with the skill, c) and an evaluation of the request by the office of disability services, typically indicating that despite good faith efforts to demonstrate proficiency, with all appropriate reasonable accommodations and support services in place, the student has been unable to pass the exam. The waiver applies only at the college the student currently attends.

CPE

Accommodations based on disabilities will be granted to comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students who wish to seek such an accommodation must be registered with the college's office serving students with disabilities.   .

In rare instances, a student with a disability may not reasonably be accommodated within the framework of the CPE as currently administered. Such students may demonstrate proficiency through an alternative means, to be determined by the academic administration of each college in consultation with the disability coordinator. Students who wish to receive such an accommodation should request it in writing from the appeals committee at least one month in advance of the test administration that the student wishes to attend.
