SCHEDULE YOUR SUMMER EXAMS!
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.

If you are unable to send out letters of accommodation, please contact our office to make an appointment with a Disability Specialist to update your documentation!

Please see below for instructions:

Requesting exam accommodations via R’Ability:

a. Go to rability.ucr.edu<http://rability.ucr.edu/>, select “Student Portal”, Send your Quarterly Letters to Faculty.

b. Select Test or Final Exam Requests must be completed at least 7 days before scheduled exams.

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