Student Announcement
OAS provides the guidance below for students with extended time exam accommodations and other disabilities impacted by exams. Questions or concerns regarding how to address these situations should be directed to oas@clarkson.edu.
Students who would like to request accommodations for final exams must begin the request process no later than April 1 at 4pm ET. Requests made after this deadline will be applied to the next semester only. Contact oas@clarkson.edu for instructions on submitting accommodation requests.

Exam conflicts for students with extended time (overlapping exams, 7pm start time, 3+ exams in one day)
- If you need to reschedule any of your exams as part of an accommodation, you must contact oas@clarkson.edu no later than April 1 to discuss alternative arrangements.
- It is expected that you will maintain academic integrity at all times. You are expected to refrain from discussing any and all exam material until after you have completed the exam and your class exam time as listed on myCU has ended. All reported violations of academic integrity will be addressed pursuant to the University’s Undergraduate/Graduate Regulations.
- If you have any exams scheduled for 7pm, OAS will schedule those exams at 5pm.
- If you have three or more exams scheduled on the same day, one exam must be rescheduled to another day. The Academic Regulations (III-H-4) state the priority for such conflicts. OAS will arrange for the third exam to be rescheduled based on space availability. OAS will not accept requests for different dates/times.
- If two of your exams overlap, OAS will reschedule one or both exams as described below.

Other disabilities impacted by exams
- You may have a disability that is unique in nature and therefore it is not possible to make generic statements for your accommodation needs. Students in this situation should email oas@clarkson.edu no later than April 1 regarding these concerns and accommodation requests. OAS will facilitate communication between instructors and students about these unique needs.
