Take care of yourselves, and remember we're here if you need us.
Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving!

  *   Your SDRC Team
SCHEDULE YOUR FALL FINAL 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.

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.

Please schedule your exams 7 days prior to the test date during the Summer Sessions via R'Ability<https://rability.ucr.edu/clockwork/custom/misc/index>. If you miss the cutoff, you may submit a late exam request and the requests are processed based on availability of resources. Late exam requests are not guaranteed.

The Late Exam Request form is available in-person only during these times: 8am-8:45am and 4pm-4:45pm, Monday through Friday.

Winter Quarter Registration Reminder
As you are registering for Winter Quarter, the SDRC would like to remind students who receive testing accommodations that when scheduling your classes, please avoid booking back-to-back class sessions. This ensures that your testing accommodations won't overlap with your next class. Give yourself enough time to utilize your accommodations fully and manage your workload effectively. Your access is important, so plan accordingly!

E-text/Alternate Media Accommodations

Please submit your Alternate Media Requests for Fall 2024 using the Alternate Format Textbooks module on the R'Ability website<https://rability.ucr.edu/clockwork/custom/misc/index> as soon as course materials are announced. Required course material will be prioritized. Requests may take longer than 2 weeks to fulfill. Please email sdrc-at at ucr.edu<mailto:sdrc-at at ucr.edu> if you have any questions or concerns.

Students are highly encouraged to purchase e-text versions of required textbooks. When e-text is not available, the Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC) works with the campus bookstore, the publishers, and other partners to provide course materials in e-text formats. To avoid delays, it is best to purchase e-versions of all available textbooks.
