Booking Accommodated Tests

Yes - in order to guarantee your accommodations, you are required to book your tests/exams.
Check out the step-by-step guide on how to book accommodated tests/exams
We understand that exceptional or extenuating circumstances can sometimes make it difficult to book on time.
In light of this, the ATC will continue to accept accommodated test booking requests until the final closing date: November 19th, 2025 at 5:00pm.
Please Note: Any bookings submitted after November 14th are considered Late Requests. They are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed. Priority will be given to tests booked by the deadline.
📢 New for Fall 2025! We’ve updated our booking deadlines to make them simpler, clearer, and more flexible. Say goodbye to “business days” and hello to straight day counts:
- Test booking deadline: Now 7 days before the test (previously 10).
- Late requests (midterms & tests): Considered up to 5 days before the test (previously “2 full weekdays between the booking date and test date” - booking date and test date didn’t count, and weekends/holidays weren’t included).
- Late requests (final exams): Considered up to 5 days after the final exam booking deadline.
Why this is better: No more confusing rules or tricky calculations. Weekends and holidays now count, so the deadline is predictable, easier to plan around, and often giving you more usable time than before.
After the final closing date you will not be able to submit a request through the portal, and requests sent directly to the ATC will not be considered. If you miss the deadlines, your options include:
- Write your test without accommodations
- Speak to your department about potential alternate arrangements that may be available to you. Acceptable alternate arrangements may include filing an Academic Consideration Request (ACR) for deferred exams, or requesting an Incomplete Grade (INC).
- Please be aware that alternate arrangements are not academic accommodations and are at the discretion of each instructor.
First, ensure that you have submitted your accommodation plan to your instructors. You won’t be able to book your accommodated tests until you release your accommodation plan.
If you still can’t book your exam, email testcentre@torontomu.ca
If you make a mistake with your test booking, please email us at testcentre@torontomu.ca at least 2 weekdays before your test, and we can adjust the booking.
If there is a change to your booked test, please email us at testcentre@torontomu.ca at least 2 weekdays before your test, and we can adjust the booking.
Yes, accommodated make-up tests are booked through the AAS Student Portal.
If you have an all-day or flexible time frame to write your exam (i.e., you have a full day or can choose to write anytime over multiple days), indicate the exact class start time and class writing duration.
You do not need to actually write the exam on that date - you will be able to access it throughout the entire time period appropriate to your course and accommodations.
If there is a scheduling conflict between your accommodated tests, work with your instructors to agree on a new date/time ASAP. Email your instructors detailing the issue and discuss options for new writing dates/times.
Once you have confirmed the new writing time with your instructor, book your test on the AAS Student Portal.
Don’t have the instructor’s approval but it’s getting close to the test booking deadline? Book your test for the originally scheduled time. If the instructor provides permission after the deadline, The Accommodated Test Centre will try to reschedule your test booking.
For undergraduate, graduate, and law courses, you can find your exam schedule in MyServiceHub. From the Student Home Page in MyServiceHub, select “manage classes” and “view my exam schedule.”
Please note that the location listed in the schedule does not apply to students writing exams with accommodations. You will receive information about the specific location of your exam after you book your exam through the AAS Student Portal.
For all-day or flexible time frame exams, the schedule only lists exams that start at a specific time. If you have an exam that runs longer than three hours, or is completed in a longer, more flexible time frame it won’t show the full length on your calendar. Check with your department for more information.
For Chang School courses, exams are not shown on MyServiceHub - check your course outline for details.
As always, check your course outline, D2L course shell or with your instructor for details about the exam format.
Writing Accommodated Tests
Once booked you will immediately receive an automated confirmation email from the Accommodated Test Centre.
Your professor will also receive an automatic confirmation email with instructions on how to provide the Accommodated Test Centre with the test information.
You will receive another automated email 2 days before your test with information about your test, where to go, and important reminders.
Once you book your exam through the AAS Student Portal, you can see your scheduled tests/exams by clicking on ‘My Schedule’.
Please note, your room location will indicate ‘TBD’. This will be updated to your scheduled location 2 days before your test.
For information about what to expect when visiting the Test Centre, visit the Writing Your Test webpage.
Accommodations for extra time and breaks apply to evaluations with a finite amount of time (i.e., a 2 hour exam).
If it is a take home exam that is available to open and close/revisit over an extended timeframe, extra time/break accommodations are not applied as the additional time to work on the exam has already been built in.
