Faculty steps for test accommodations

1. Log-in to the AAS Faculty Portal to review and confirm the booking request and set the test parameters (eg. start time, length/duration, delivery instructions, etc.).
2. Provide the ATC with a copy of the test and Akindi Sheet* (if necessary) at least 48 hours before the scheduled test date. You may:
   1. Upload a Microsoft Word file (.doc or .docx) or accessible PDF through the AAS Faculty Portal. Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer are the recommended browsers to upload and view your tests.
   2. Drop off a paper copy of the test to the ATC (VIC B15, Lower Level, Victoria Building 285 Victoria Street) during administrative office hours. 
3. The ATC will returned completed tests according to the instructions you provide.

Please note: A delay in receiving a copy of the test may prevent a student from writing their accommodated test.

The ATC is mandated by the Ontario Human Rights Code (external link)  and TMU Senate Policy 159 to legally provide accommodations for students registered with AAS.

If the ATC is unable to administer the test, the student must reschedule the test date or pursue a grade appeal. 

*If you have multiple students who require an Akindi Sheet please upload one file with all Akindis included.
