ODA Accommodated Testing
Located in Wilder Hall, the Accommodated Testing Center provides a professional, equitable, safe space for eligible students to complete their exams. Our testing spaces are designed for flexibility and can be adapted to meet various needs and accommodations. Students must be registered with ODA to utilize the Accommodated Testing Center. By using our center, students are confirming they will adhere to the Honor Code.
The ODA Accommodated Testing Center is available for:
- Students who are registered with ODA, are eligible for Alternative Testing Accommodations, and are taking Oberlin College and Conservatory course-related exams, midterms, finals, or quizzes. A student’s Letter of Eligibility will specify whether they are approved to use our center.
While the ODA Accommodated Testing Center is available for any student with testing accommodations registered with ODA, we are unable to facilitate the following types of exams:
- Standardized testing, such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), the American College Testing (ACT) exam, the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), or other similar exams.
- Exams or quizzes for non-Oberlin courses
- drop-in exams (exams must be scheduled in advance)
- Make-up exams unrelated to testing accommodations. Instructors must facilitate these exams.
Exam Scheduling Policy
All exams must be scheduled on the day and time they are being facilitated in the classroom, or according to the final exam schedule, unless alternate arrangements are agreed up between the faculty member and ODA.
The ODA will be unable to facilitate exams scheduled past this deadline.
It is recommended that students review their syllabi and schedule all exams at the beginning of the semester, if possible.
Accommodated exams must be scheduled through the ODA Online Portal in OberView at least three business days prior to the exam.
