In this guide, the word "EXAMS" means any kind of test, quiz, or exam. E.g. unit tests, midterm exams, quizzes, etc.
Please note: if your only exam accommodation is 1.5 extra time, please do not book with Accommodated Exams.
Did you know? Almost all exams at NorQuest have been adjusted to include extra time. This extra time provides you with your accommodation within the classroom setting. This extra time also supports students with disabilities who might not have a diagnoses and/or cannot get documentation for an accommodation. It also supports those with other barriers to learning. For more information, please see page 5 of this college procedure.
Here is an example of how extra time is calculated:
|
Base Time (the amount of time the test was designed to take)
|
Exam length with extra time added - whole class receives this time (1.5x or 50% extra time)
|
Exam length if you have Double Time (2x) as an accommodation
