Examination Arrangements
Arrangements will be put in place to ensure that students with disabilities are not disadvantaged during examinations. Specific examination arrangements will be discussed with each student on an individual basis.
Candidates must have adequate working practice in any facility which they request to use in the examination. These facilities and provisions include:
- Use of Assistive Technology.
- Use of PCs and printing facilities in AT centre with AT trainer on duty.
- Separate examination rooms and invigilators, where necessary.
- Extra time, where required.
- Rest periods may be provided for candidates who require breaks during the examination, such as students who have mobility difficulties, concentration difficulties, or who suffer from chronic pain.
- Use of a reader or scribe. Alternatively, the paper may be available in electronic format or as an audio file where the candidate can listen to the questions on an Mp3 player (provided by the college) while reading the exam paper.
- Dictation of answers to audio tape, which are later transcribed to text.
- Specialised furniture or aids, where appropriate.
