Academic Accommodations

In the first two weeks of the semester, all students seeking academic accommodations must meet with Marni Jones, Director of Learning Skills and Disability Services, to receive an accommodation letter. Each student will then schedule a meeting with the professor of each class he/she is seeking testing accommodations for.

During the meeting, the student and professor will sit down together to complete and sign the Confirmation of Accommodations Discussion form. On the form, the student and professor will note how accommodations will be received in the classroom, and if a test proctor is needed for exams in the course. If receiving extended time, the student must consider any class conflicts he/she has right before or after class, and work out a time to take the exam. Enter the alternate start time on the form.  

Once completed, the student is responsible for returning the form to Disability Services within 3 days of the meeting. This form must be turned in, even if the department will accommodate the student's testing needs. 

When a test proctor is needed, Stephanie Anderberg, Administrative Assistant for Learning Skills and Disability Services, will review the form and send out a confirmation email at least one day before each exam. If you have questions or concerns regarding testing accommodations, or if you do not receive confirmation of your request for test proctoring by the day before an exam, email disabilityservices@dickinson.edu or call 717-245-1734 to ensure that your exam is scheduled with Disability Services.

Please note that students requesting a test proctor must give at least 5 days notice before any exam. We will not be able to provide proctoring for students who do not provide sufficient notice.
