Dear Accessibility Liaisons,

We are looking for a couple more volunteers to help with the Brightspace training course the accessibility committee is working on. It should be very quick and easy, all you would have to do is state who you are and that you are an accessibility ally. If you would be willing to help please fill out this short form.

Also, with midterms approaching, we'd like to refresh your memory on some information related to testing for students with accommodations.

If a student has testing accommodations, you will need to complete a Testing Agreement if you haven’t already. The link for this can be found in the student’s letter of accommodation in the red box It looks like this:

Student is eligible for Alternative Testing services. Please fill out the alternative testing agreement for the student by using the following link: Alternative Testing Agreement (or copy and paste the following link to your browser: https://york.accessiblelearning.com/Akron/TestingAgreement.aspx?ID=78427&CID=283720&Key=i3oOpEJV), or by logging into the Instructor Portal. If you would like to have the agreement copied to another class, you can do so in the Instructor Portal or by emailing your request to access@uakron.edu.

You can also access this link in the Instructor Portal. See the alternative testing documentation for how to complete the agreement, edit it, or just see what the agreement contains. If you can’t locate the student’s Letter of Accommodation, you can see it in the Instructor Portal. Here are the instructions for finding an accommodation letter.

If a student is not sure how to request a testing room, you can share with them the STARS exam scheduling instructions.

If you have any questions or need more specific information, contact the accessibility office or reach out to the student's Disability Specialist (found on their accommodation letter). See other Accessibility Liaison Communication.

Thank you for working with the office of Accessibility to provide students with disabilities with equal access to a quality education.

Regards,
Accessibility Committee
