Access Exams are when you use accommodations to write a quiz, test, mid-term, or final exam for a KPU course. Accommodations are changes in when, where, or how you complete an exam. Some examples of Accommodations for exams include:
- Alternate Format - such as audio, e-text, or large print
- Extended Exam Time – additional time to complete an exam
- Distraction Reduced – exams are booked in a room where visual and auditory distractions are reduced
- Technology – use of computer, calculators, spell-check, or specific software
- Reader or Scribe – a technology or person who reads a test aloud or writes your responses
Talk to us if you'd like to include Access Exams in your Accommodation Plan.

You are encouraged to register for your Access Exams early in the semester and at least two weeks in advance of the testing date.
