Disability- and chronic health- related functional impacts can cause significant fatigue and reduce academic performance. For example, a student with an acquired brain injury may experience debilitating fatigue following an exam, or a student with fibromyalgia may experience significant physical pain. Limiting the number of exams per day, or having a day's rest in between exams, allows a student to recover from these impacts.

This accommodation does not allow a student to cancel or unreasonably delay exams.

The spirit of the accommodation is to allow the student to recover between exams.

Student responsibilities

Notify your instructor of the conflict as early as possible. This may be after the final exam schedule is published.

Provide your instructor with the name and contact information of the other course instructors involved with scheduled exam that conflict with this accommodation, if requested.

Instructor responsibilities

Negotiate an alternative date for the student to write the exam. Contact the CAL Assessment Program as early as possible if they are supporting the exam.

Check with the student before discussing their academic accommodations with another instructor.

How to help

Communicate in-term exam dates at the start of term so students can identify any conflicts as early as possible.
