How will accommodated exams be written?

Students who are participating in on-campus courses will write their exams in one of the CAL exam spaces and supervised by CAL staff. CAL exam spaces are open from 8am to 9pm Monday to Friday, and as needed on Saturdays.

• CAL staff will ensure that all of the supplied invigilation instructions will be followed (operating as if the student was being supervised in the classroom by the course instructor).
• For exams being completed through D2L, course instructors will need to ensure that the accommodations are applied to the individual CAL student’s exam. CAL does not have access to apply extra time or enable TextReader.
• Students can request an early start and have their accommodated time added before the class start time if they have back-to-back courses. Exams that are to take place for evening courses will start early so that they will end when the CAL exam spaces close at 9pm.
• Exam incidents where misconduct is suspected will be reported to the course instructor as soon as possible by forwarding a��report via email. It is up to the course instructor to decide if misconduct has occurred and take the necessary measures.

Students who are participating in online classes will write their exams remotely (just like the rest of the class) with the addition of their academic accommodations as requested.

• Course instructors will need to ensure that the accommodations are applied to the individual CAL student’s exam. CAL does not have access to apply extra time or enable TextReader.
• If a student has complex accommodations, the exam might be invigilated remotely with a CAL invigilator through Microsoft Teams (reviewed on a case-by-case basis with CAL exam staff and course instructor).

Issues?

If students believe their accommodations are not being provided on a specific exam, they should:

• On-campus exams: report this to the CAL Invigilator on duty who will communicate issues with the course instructor and/or CAL Advisors.
• Online exams: report this to the course instructor and calexams@camosun.ca����Before they begin the exam. CAL exam staff will try to assist wherever possible.
