Separate test location for on campus exams
- This is a distraction reduced setting, which typically takes place in the Writing Center.

Scribe or use of a word processor
- Disability Services staff can scribe or write down answers for the student and/or the student may be approved to use a word processor to type their answers.
The following procedures govern an exam accommodation:

- Students will notify faculty if they intend to use extended time only.
- Students will notify Accessibility & Disability Services (disabilityservices@cia.edu) if they intend to use any of the following: separate test location, separate test location with extended time, read aloud, and/or scribe.
- If testing with Disability Services, they will arrange an exam time that takes into account the student’s schedule. Every effort will be made to give the exam at the regularly scheduled time.
- Disability Services will secure the exam from the professor and will conduct the exam. There may be more than one student taking the exam in a given location at the same time. Academic integrity will be enforced as outlined in the CIA Student Handbook.
