TESTING ACCOMMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
In some cases, students with disabilities are entitled to accommodations related to administration of examinations, including placement exams. Such accommodations must be specified as well as authorized by Columbia University’s Office of Disability Services, based on an assessment of the disability and appropriate documentation. This authorization process can often take a month, once all required documentation is received.

Students with learning disabilities or other disabilities that may warrant an accommodation should contact the Office of Disability Services (ODS) immediately upon receipt of the GS admission packet. Students authorized by ODS for testing accommodations must notify the ARC at least two weeks in advance of the placement exam for which they have signed up. More information on disability services can be found at http://www.health.columbia.edu/docs/services/ods/index.html.
