Alternative Testing Center (ATC) 

Some students require testing accommodations to ensure they have an equal opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. These accommodations are essential for students with disabilities, as they help remove barriers that might otherwise hinder their performance. We are committed to providing the necessary support and resources to facilitate alternative testing arrangements, ensuring that all students can achieve their academic potential.

You can also review the complete Alternative Testing Center Handbook for students to ensure you know all of the policies related to alternative testing.
