Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

The Nittany Success Center provides individualized testing accommodations for students with documented
disabilites.

The most frequently requested testing accommodations are for extended time for exam completion and a
separate testing location. Other accommodations might include a test reader, a scribe, or use of a
computer. Classroom accommodations include note-taking assistance such as carbonless notepaper or
photocopying of notes. Special equipment for students with visual impairments are available in the Nittany
Success Center for testing purposes.

These descriptions of accommodations are intended to provide a general idea of the types of
accommodations that are available through the Nittany Success Center. They are not exhaustive and they
are not all-inclusive.

To request testing assistance (for students with a documented disability), please complete the
Testing Request Form.
