The purpose of exam accommodations is to provide an equal testing opportunity based on the functional limitations of the student. "Test," as used in this context, refers to quizzes and examinations taken in conjunction with an academic class.
Test accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis and may include:
Please note: This accommodation must be approved by their Accessibility Resource Center Advisor, and will depend on the symptoms and severity of the student's disability.
Exam and Quizzes are proctored Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Other times can be arranged individually by contacting the Testing Coordinator. Final Exams are proctored.
Tests are scheduled in the Student Services Building, Room 170. During high volume times, such as midterms and finals, tests may be administered in other locations. Students will be notified when there are test location changes.

Tests administered by an institution other than the California State University
The SAT, GRE, ACT and other tests used as part of the University's entrance requirement or for assessing professional competency are administered by private testing companies. Each testing company has its own procedure for arranging accommodated testing. Typically, instructions for requesting accommodations are listed on the test company's website under "arrangements for alternative test administration."
When registering for the test and requesting accommodations, testing companies often require a copy of a person's original, current documentation and/or a letter on letterhead from a person (such as a high school counselor) who is qualified to confirm that the individual has a documented disability and has been receiving accommodations. The registration form and the request for accommodation with the appropriate documentation are then mailed to the testing company weeks before the test registration deadline. The testing company will notify you if you are approved for accommodated testing. The campus Test Office where you will test is also notified and may contact you about arrangements.
Tests administered by the California State University for placement purposes
The EPT and ELM are placement tests in English and math that are required of most first time freshmen and some transfer students. You may take these tests at a CSU campus close to your home. You should request accommodations from the CSU campus where you will take the exam rather than the campus where you intend to enroll. Most branches of the CSU have a procedure similar to ours for requesting accommodation on the ELM and EPT. You should call the Accessibility Resource Center office or Testing Office at the CSU nearest you to determine what their exact procedures are for procuring ELM/EPT accommodations.
