Testing
External Testing
Students may need to take exams not administered by the University, such as the Praxis for education majors, the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying exam for engineering licensure, or the Graduate Record Examinations for master's program applicants.

These exams offer disability accommodations, but they are not provided by the Office of Student Accessibility. Students must contact the specific testing company for accommodations.
Reporting an Accessibility Concern

Examples: area needing snow removal or salt, physical barrier, automatic door opener not functioning, missing or unclear signage, etc.

Human Resources: Email the Office of Human Resources or phone at 605-688-4128.
