SAS Testing Accommodations

Students utilize accommodations for a variety of reasons and testing accommodations are no different.  Students utilizing Student Accessibility Services Testing might require a testing environment with few or negligible sensory distractions, utilize extended testing time, utilize assistive technology, access tests/quizzes in a different format, among many other reasons.
