If you plan to take your exams at Disability Resources and Services (DRS), there are procedures you need to be aware of. We may NOT be able to accommodate you, if you do not follow these procedures:

  1. EXAMS must be SCHEDULED at least THREE BUSINESS DAYS IN ADVANCE.

  2. COMPLETED and SIGNED Test Administration Forms must be SUBMITTED to DRS at least THREE BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE your exam. We cannot administer an exam without these instructions from your instructor. Forms are available at http://www.temple.edu/studentaffairs/disability/accommodations/test-taking.html.

  3. Exams must be DELIVERED to DRS by your instructor AT LEAST THREE DAYS in advance.

  4. For students using assistive technology and computers, it is extremely important that you tell us exactly what you require to complete your exam on your test administration form.

  5. YOU MUST REPORT TO DRS FOR YOUR EXAM AT YOUR SCHEDULED TIME. Exam completion time is fixed and any lateness will be deducted from the overall available time to complete your exam.

  6. If your exam requires any reference materials (i.e., note cards, formula sheets, calculators, etc.), your instructor must clearly note this on the test administration form. Otherwise, we cannot allow you to use any materials for your exam.

  7. Please come to your exams prepared with appropriate items. DRS will NOT provide pens, pencils, rulers or calculators for your exams.

  8. Extended time will be closely monitored. You and your disability advisor have discussed the extended time for which you are eligible.

  9. Jackets, hats, book bags, hand bags, purses, food, cell phones, electronic communication devices, MP3 players, etc. will not be allowed into any testing area.

While these procedures should be familiar to you, we felt a need to reiterate them in advance of Final Exams. We may not be able to accommodate students who fail to follow our established procedures.

PLEASE NOTE: We will be proctoring exams in Kiva Auditorium. Our intent is to place students in Kiva with considerable space between students. We may not be able to provide any PRIVATE rooms during finals. PLEASE REPORT TO DRS TESTING SERVICES OFFICE and we will escort you to Kiva.

For further information or clarification, please contact our testing services staff at 215-204-1280.

DRS in the Press: Temple Review Coverage of DRS

The spring edition of the Temple Review, a magazine for alumni and friends of Temple University, features a cover story titled "All-Inclusive Education" which explores the contributions that the Disability Resources and Services department and students with a disability have made to the Temple community. Highlighting the experiences of several students, the article describes some of the many ways DRS supports and advocates for students, including academic accommodations, campus accessibility, technological innovation, and job preparation. A related article covers the new Joshua A. Winheld/Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation Scholarship Fund, created in honor of Joshua Winheld, a Temple graduate who died in 2009 after a long battle with muscular dystrophy.
