Reminders about final exam accommodations with the Disability Resource Center

The Disability Resource Center (DRC) works each semester to coordinate exam accommodations for New Paltz students who request them.

For fall 2021, the DRC has asked students to submit final exam requests by Friday, Nov. 19. Please keep in mind that the DRC may not be able to accommodate students if their requests are not received by this deadline.

Have questions about this process? The Disability Resource Center is available to help. Call at 845-257-3020, email at drc@newpaltz.edu, or stop by at Haggerty Administration Building, Room 205.

For Faculty: How to upload your exams to our accommodation tool

Faculty can expedite this process by uploading their exams to the Accommodate app. They can do so by following these steps:

Log into newpaltz.edu
Select Disability Resource Center from the Resources menu
Select the relevant course
Click Exam, then Add New Exam

Please upload your exam at least one day prior to the date of administration to allow time to print and prepare the exam for your student(s).

Doing this will cover any future requests or students who miss the deadline to submit the exam online. Faculty can also specify the time frame during which the Disability Resource Center is authorized to administer your exam.
