Exams like the GRE or licensure/certification exams typically require special documentation when applying for accommodations. The Office of Accessibility and Accommodations cannot complete these accommodation applications for the student. When applying for accommodations for any formal testing, we do not provide services in completion of the applications. Companies like Educational Testing Service (ETS) require a very high standard to what they approve for accommodations. Due to our office not working directly with these companies, we are unable to assure that our accommodation recommendations meet their standards. Many of these companies require documentation from a qualified provider who is able to conduct evaluations and make diagnoses. Our office does not provide these types of services. We can try to answer any questions a student may have about the accommodation application for a specific test, but ultimately decisions are at the discrection of the testing company.
Students who are registered with OAA have the right to receive their approved accommodations and services. If at any time there are concerns regarding services or accommodations, please contact OAA and ask to speak to the director. If it is felt that the director has not adequately addressed the concerns, students have the right to contact the Office of Civil Rights at 217-581-5020.
Students also have the right at any time during the process to contact the Office of Civil Rights to file a grievance.
