Winter Letters of Accommodation
Remember to visit rability.ucr.edu<http://rability.ucr.edu/> to request to use your accommodations this quarter! This allows SDRC staff to review your request, identify anything that may require SDRC assistance, and provide guidance to the faculty or student. The University needs to track exams given with accommodations to ensure that accessibility is being provided.

To protect your rights, please follow the established process in accessing approved accommodations<https://sdrc.ucr.edu/steps-accessing-approved-accommodations>. The SDRC can only support official accommodation requests submitted through R'Ability<https://rability.ucr.edu/>. If arrangements are coordinated outside of the official SDRC process, you risk not receiving your SDRC-approved accommodations in a timely manner or not in a manner appropriate to your situation. Submitting your exam information allows SDRC to effectively advocate for you when
necessary.
Please see below for instructions:

Requesting exam accommodations via R'Ability:

a. Go to <https://rability.ucr.edu/clockwork/custom/misc/index> rability.ucr.edu<https://rability.ucr.edu/clockwork/custom/misc/index>, select "Student Portal", Send your Quarterly Letters to Faculty.

b. Select Test or Final Exam Requests must be completed at least 10 days before scheduled exams, and at least 14 days before exams during Finals Week.

c. Please make sure exam times/dates match the class exam time/dates.

d. Look at "View Your Calendar" for confirmation of upcoming exam requests.

e. If you have any questions regarding test-taking arrangements or need assistance requesting to use your accommodations in R'Ability, contact sdrc-exams at ucr.edu<mailto:sdrc-exams at ucr.edu>, website for the Student Test Booking Tutorial<https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Flive-ucr-sdrc.pantheonsite.io%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2F2022-09%2Fmodule-student-test-booking_accessible.pptx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK>, or stop by our office during regular business hours.

  *   Late Exam Request Process
     *   The SDRC Testing Center does not accept late exam requests via email. If you miss the cutoff for scheduling any exam(s), you will need to visit the Testing Center lobby in-person for support with this process (Student Services Bldg, Room 1213 next to the elevators)

     *   You may visit the testing center for the late exam request during operating hours Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. Upon your arrival, we will make sure the exam is at least within 3 business days from the date when you are filling out the form and you will fill out the form with the exam information. Furthermore, instructions on how to use the the R'Ability Exam Scheduling Process will be reviewed so that you will not need to use late request process in future, except for extraordinary circumstances.

        *   Late exam requests are reviewed on a first come, first serve basis. Please keep in mind that submitting a late exam request does not guarantee that you will be accommodated for the exam.
.

        *   If your request is approved, you will be notified via Email and your R'Ability Calendar will reflect the exam information.

        *   Reminder that there is a 10-day cutoff for exams taking place Weeks 0-10 and a 14-day cutoff for final exams.
