Requesting special accommodations for exams

Requesting special accommodations for exams¶¶

Acquia can provide special accommodations for exams for those who need them.

To request a specific accommodation, you must first register for an exam, which includes creating a ProctorU account. After creating a ProctorU account, send an email with your full name and the requested accommodation to: [email protected]. An exam administrator will add requested accommodations to your user account, rather than to a specific exam, so you only need to request them once.

When you take an exam, your proctor will see any accommodations they need to provide for you.

Accommodation examples¶¶

Speaking/reading aloud
Restroom breaks
Text-to-speech programs (we officially support: JAWS, VoiceOver for Mac, and Narrator for Windows)
Speech-to-text programs (extension-based applications are not supported)
Use of headphones, earbuds, or earplugs
Personal external medical devices
Human assistant for the exam such as a scribe or reader
Food permitted
Screen magnifier (extension-based applications are not supported)
Permitted background noise
English as a second language (This is helpful for exam proctors to know, even if ProctorU does not provide direct support in your native language.)

If you require an accommodation that is not on this list, contact us with details.
