Alternative Testing Services

The Resnick Academic Achievement Center provides an alternative testing service for students who may need a distraction-free environment, extended time (up to double time), use of adaptive equipment, a distraction-reduced environment, use of a computer for essays or to read exams, scribes, or enlarged printing.

All students must be approved for alternative testing services.

Students with disabilities seeking alternative testing services must contact the Access and Equity Coordinator and have their access plan in place. Approval would be granted through the Access and Equity Coordinator in the Resnick Academic Achievement Center. For additional information, please contact the Office of Access and Equity Services, Bush Hall 221, 607-746-4744, or email accessandequity@delhi.edu.

For students with disabilities approved for alternative testing services, more details are available at Policies and Guidelines for Students Receiving Support Services.
