Exam Accommodations in the ODS Testing Center

Accommodate is the online system for faculty to view accommodation information about their students. The Faculty Portal can be accessed from the "Faculty" tab in MyMadison. Please view the Faculty Portal Tutorial Videos for more information about Accommodate and the accommodation process. 

When students book exams with the ODS testing center, professors need to either approve or deny the request in Accommodate.

If you cannot meet the exam accommodation needs of your student(s) please communicate to your student(s) that they need to make an exam reservation with our testing facilities. Students must schedule their exam reservations 3 business days prior to their exam date.

Once an exam reservation has been scheduled, we need faculty to approve the exam request and upload exam documents/exam information to Accommodate. We request faculty provide us with all necessary exam information, exam materials, and exam reservation approval 48 hours (2 business days) prior to the exam date.

Email reminders are automatically sent out by Accommodate until ODS has received faculty approval of an exam request AND the exam/exam information has been uploaded.

Students do not receive a confirmation email until faculty and ODS have approved the exam request.

Please see our step-by-step guide on approving exam reservations and uploading exams to Accommodate by downloading the Accommodate System Exam Guide for Faculty.

Please note that all faculty are required to sign the Faculty Testing Agreement Form when adding exam information.
