To write an exam with Student Accessibility Services (SAS), please book your exam at least 7 days in advance.
This timeline ensures we can arrange proctors, rooms, and necessary accommodations.
If you do not book 7 days ahead, you will write the exam with your regular class.
From your SAS page in Online Services, click the “Indicate Exam Date” button at the top of the page.
Select the course the exam will be written in, the name of the instructor who will be giving the exam, and the date that your instructor has set for the class to write the exam. Please note that the date here needs to be the same date and time as the class.
Click “Submit” and wait until you see a message confirming your exam has been booked before closing the page.
You’re all done! You can check the status and details of the exam from your SAS Online Services page.
It’s a good idea to check back at some point before your exam to double check that the exam date has been confirmed by your instructor.
If, due to extenuating circumstances, you need to reschedule an exam:
Ask your instructor. As with deadline extensions and excused absences, exam reschedule requests are approved or denied at your instructors’ discretion.
Instructors may ask you to provide documentation to verify the reason for rescheduling as per section Policy on Student Absences
Find the exam to be rescheduled in your SAS Online Services page and click “Reschedule Exam”.
If the exam is not already present in this list, you will first need to add it by clicking Indicate Exam Date before submitting your reschedule request.
Occasionally, your time extension may cause your exam to overlap with another course you are enrolled in.
If this should happen, please contact SAS, and we will find the closest time to the originally scheduled exam time that does not conflict with your course timetable, and then we will confirm the time with you and your instructor.
For Moodle Exams: Your time extension is automatically applied to all Moodle exams, and you’ll receive an email confirmation once it's set up. However, if you plan to write your exam in the SAS Testing Centre, you still must schedule it through your Online Services.
Other Online Exams: Please ask your instructor to manually apply your time extension to any online exams that you will write through a non-Moodle platform (eg. textbook publisher’s website).
If you have any questions or encounter any issues while writing an exam, please let exam proctors know immediately.
If the exam proctor is unable to answer the question, they will contact another staff member.
We can also relay a question to your instructor or escort you to the room where the class exam is in progress if you require clarification from your instructor.
Earplugs and overhead earmuffs are available for anyone to use during exam. If you don't see any available, ask exam proctors.
