If a student has an approved testing accommodation, the instructor should complete the following two steps:
Step 1: Enter Accommodations in Examity
If students require test accommodations, you can make sure proctor support is aware ahead of time by entering the information in Examity.
- To add an accommodation, click on the Students tab at the top of the Examity dashboard.
- On the Student tab, click on the Search button.
- Search for the student by entering their first name, last name, and/or email address.
- Then, click on the pencil icon located in the row of the student who requires the accommodation.
- Select Yes from the Special Accommodations drop-down menu and enter the appropriate information. Lastly, press Update, and this information will be saved.
Step 2: Configure Individual Testing Settings in Moodle or 3rd Party Testing Site
- Accommodations must also be set up in Moodle (or 3rd party testing site).
- In Moodle, Add a User Override to allow extra time or an alternate testing window.
- For 3rd party testing sites, contact vendor support for their procedures.
