Request Testing Services— DO IT ONLINE!
All requests for alternative testing are submitted electronically through the “mycalpoly.edu” portal.
To request service:
- Meet with instructors to present your VISA and the "Testing Accommodations FAQ" to discuss exam accommodation needs.
- Check your syllabi early and submit requests as soon as you know an exam is scheduled--at least 7 full days in advance.
- Instructors receive an email notifying them when there is a request to approve. IMPORTANT: Monitor the status of your request through your portal.
- Be aware that Instructors must review and approve on-line requests two business days (excluding weekends and holidays) prior to the exam; the request will automatically expire if the instructor does not give approval by the deadline. If this occurs, a new request must be made and the process must begin again.
- Note that faculty can edit the request, so after the request has been approved, verify the time, date, special circumstances, notes, etc.
- Talk to your Access Specialist if you or your instructor have any hesitations about using the online system.
- See the DRC On-Line Testing Request System for detailed instructions on completing the request.
