The first step in receiving testing accommodations is to register with Accessibility Services. You can contact that office at 906-635-2355 or at accessibility@lssu.edu to schedule an appointment. Accessibility Services is located in LIBR 233. If you have been granted accommodations, you must provide an accommodation letter to each of your instructors as well as Testing Services prior to using your testing accommodations. This letter will be emailed to you from Accessibility Services.
You must then follow the registration and test policies listed here.
You must register for your test at least three (3) business days before you plan to take you test during the semester. You can register for your tests here. From there, you will be able to fill out the required information for the course you will need a test appointment for and when you will take the exam. If you are unable to access the form, please contact our office at 906-635-2027 or email us at testing@lssu.edu.
You must schedule at least three business days prior to the day of your test. Make sure to schedule your appointment(s) as soon as possible to reserve a spot, especially if you have accommodations. If you cannot take the test when the rest of the class is taking it due to a conflict in your class schedule or Testing Services hours, you must check with your instructor(s) regarding the range of dates within which it is acceptable for you to take your test(s). Appointments that are not scheduled at least three business days prior to the day of your test are subject to seat availability and instructor approval. Testing Services encourages you to schedule your exams for the entire semester after you receive your course syllabus and as close to the exam date as possible. If you need to make a change to a testing appointment after already scheduling the appointment, you can do so by emailing testing@lssu.edu.
Contact Accessibility Services at 906-635-2355 or accessibility@lssu.edu. Testing Services provides accommodations for classroom testing only. For any other questions related to other accommodations, or concerns you have regarding your testing accommodations, contact Accessibility Services.
