Posted: Tuesday, April 29, 2025Final Exams at Student Accessibility Services
CEP week is a busy week at Student Accessibility Services. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to a successful end to the semester.
Please read closely and note the guidelines for administration of tests at Student Accessibility Services during CEP week, May 12-15, 2025:
- SAS Testing Center will be open 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Mon-Thu of that week.
- Tests will be administered to start at times specified for CEP week schedule – 7:40 a.m., 9:40 a.m., 11:40 a.m., 1:40 p.m., 3:40 p.m.
- Faculty are asked to please upload their finals to the Accommodate Portal at least 24 hours (one day) prior to the scheduled test date/time.
- Faculty should answer all questions in a form where SAS staff clearly understand the parameters of the test.
- The last day for students to make a seat reservation at the testing center through Accommodate is 5/8/2025, 4:00 p.m. (after this date students will have to meet with us to schedule tests in person).
- The last time slot to schedule for students with 2.0X (double) accommodated time will be 1:40 p.m.
- Students with three or more tests are required to work with at least one of their faculty to schedule their test for a different day.
- If the tests are shorter than the 110 minutes allowed, please specify this in the notes section of the form so SAS staff can manually adjust the accommodated test time for the student.
- Faculty will receive an email when a student makes a seat reservation. Please check for accuracy of the scheduled date and time selected by the student. SAS staff will assume that students have approval from their faculty to take the test at the time specified in the correspondence.
- Students with back-to-back tests may need to select a time that differs from the scheduled time, one that is closest to the originally scheduled time.
- Please feel free to upload your tests if you know that you have a student with accommodations in your course at any time before the test upload deadline.
- All completed tests will be scanned and uploaded in Accommodate, unless otherwise stated.
Please note: SAS will not be administering at-home Brightspace tests. However, if your Brightspace exam is being administered under faculty supervision in the classroom, please inform SAS ASAP (exams@buffalostate.edu).
Please follow the directions to extend the time in Brightspace Quizzes.
