Academic Testing Services

Student Disability Services (SDS) works closely with the Academic Testing Services (ATS) office in order to provide approved testing accommodations for SDS students.

To use ATS, a testing contract must be filled out by the instructor and the student and returned to ATS for processing. New contracts must be submitted to ATS each semester. A testing contract must be submitted for each class in which the student has received permission to test in ATS.

Be mindful that there are semester deadlines for testing contracts so they must be submitted to ATS in a timely manner. SDS students must adhere to the policies and deadlines of the ATS office in order to be provided their approved testing accommodations. Failure to do so may result in your inability to use your approved testing accommodations for some exams.
