Testing Environment

Sometimes students will require a testing environment accommodation such as a using a

reduced distraction room, being able to eat, listening to music, or being able to get up and

move. For some of these accommodations, the student will have a medical need for the

accommodation.

A reduced distraction room can be used for students who are highly distractible or who use

other accommodations that may be distracting to other students, such as a reader or a

computer with specialized software. A quiet office or an empty classroom may be used. A

hallway is not considered a reduced distraction area. The instructor or the proctor should

be available for answering questions, but should not interrupt the student during the exam.
