DISABILITY RESOURCES EDUCATION & ACCESS MANAGEMENT

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES


I UNDERSTAND THAT I MUST DISCUSS ALTERNATIVE TESTING ARRANGEMENTS, INCLUDING THE DATE AND TIME OF MY EXAMS, WITH MY INSTRUCTORS AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SEMESTER AND PRIOR TO EACH EXAM.

I AGREE TO ABIDE BY ALL UNIVERSITY POLICIES, INCLUDING THE UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC HONEST POLICY AND ETHOS STATEMENT, WHILE USING ACCOMMODATED EXAM PROCEDURES.

I UNDERSTAND THAT I MUST SCHEDULE EXAMS WITH DREAM AT LEAST ONE WEEK IN ADVANCE OF THE EXAM.

I UNDERSTAND THAT A DREAM REPRESENTATIVE MAY CONTACT ME VIA E-MAIL REGARDING EXAM APPOINTMENTS I HAVE MADE OR REQUESTED.

I AGREE TO NOTIFY DREAM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF IT IS NECESSARY TO CHANGE OR CANCEL AN EXAM APPOINTMENT.

I WILL ARRIVE AT DREAM ON TIME FOR MY EXAM APPOINTMENTS.  I UNDERSTAND THAT A TEN-MINUTE GRACE PERIOD WILL BE OBSERVED. IF I ARRIVE AT DREAM MORE THAN TEN MINUTES LATE, MY INSTRUCTOR WILL BE NOTIFIED AND I MAY NOT BE GIVEN MY EXAM.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE APPROPRIATE PROCEDURE FOR SCHEDULE OR TAKING AN EXAM WITH DREAM REQUIRES A MEETING WITH A DREAM REPRESENTATIVE AND COULD RESULT IN A REFERRAL TO THE DEAN FOR A UNIVERSITY ETHOS VIOLATION.

I UNDERSTAND THAT CELLULAR PHONES, PDA'S, I-PODS, FLASH DRIVES, OR ANY OTHER MASS STORAGE DEVICES MUST BE TURNED OFF AND STORED OUTSIDE OF MY TESTING ROOM.  I CAN NOT MAKE PHONE CALLS OR ANSWER PHONE CALLS WHILE TAKING EXAMS AT DREAM.

DREAM RESPONSIBILITIES

DREAM WILL SEND ACADEMIC ADJUSTMENT LETTERS TO EACH INSTRUCTOR INVOLVED OUTLINING MY TESTING ACCOMMODATIONS.

DREAM WILL PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TESTING ARRANGEMENTS WHEN PROPERLY SCHEDULED BY THE STUDENT.  DREAM WILL ENDEAVOR TO ACCOMMODATE STUDENTS WHO PROVIDE LESS THAN ONE WEEK NOTICE, BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE SPACE.

DREAM STAFF WILL RETURN THE EXAM TO THE PROFESSOR WITHIN 24 HOURS IN A SIGNED SEALED ENVELOPE.
