Reviewing exam accommodation requests

Once exam accommodations have been added to a student’s accommodation plan and they have submitted a Semester Request for the current semester, they will have the option to submit an Exam Booking Request through Accommodate to write their exam with the CAS Exam Centre.

Please note that we encourage exam accommodations to be facilitated in the classroom where possible 

When a student makes an Exam Booking Request, faculty will receive an email asking them to log into Accommodate to provide exam details as soon as possible.
