Dear Faculty:
It is that time of year…the final exams period is upon us. Students are responsible for making their own exam accommodations arrangements with the Office of Disability Services (ODS). ODS is available to proctor exams during open office hours Monday-Friday 8:30a-4:30p. We encourage faculty to proctor students exams with accommodations whenever possible.
The Exam Accommodations Process entails the following steps:
1. Students fill out their Exam Accommodations Forms with Faculty
2. Students submit their Exam Accommodations Forms to the Office of Disability Services at least 7 days prior to their scheduled exam. If this timeline is not followed, ODS cannot guarantee students specified exam dates, and will work with the student to find a mutually agreeable time for the student to take their exam in the Office of Disability Services.
3. Faculty submit student’s exams to ODS at least 24 hours prior to when the student is scheduled to take their exam. Exams can be dropped off or e-mailed to eorlando@stonehill.edu. ODS is not responsible for exams that are sent via Interoffice Mail.
4. Faculty pick up the student’s competed exam. ODS is not responsible for exams returned via Interoffice Mail.
We encourage communication between students and faculty regarding this process. Please feel free to contact the Office of Disability Services if you have any questions. We appreciate your cooperation with exam accommodations. Best of luck with final exams! Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Orlando, MA
Associate Director of Disability Services and Academic Achievement
