When students request modifications, academic adjustments and accommodations to standard process, policy and/or procedure in UC San Diego academic programs, departments, divisions and colleges due to a disability, eligibility is determined by the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD), in conjunction with the technical standards and learning outcomes of the academic major, department and college.

Please refer to the OSD website for further information on requesting academic accommodations:

https://osd.ucsd.edu/

It is essential that students have their current quarter Authorization for Accommodation (AFA) letter sent electronically to both the course instructor and the Math Department OSD Liaison at the beginning of the quarter, or as soon as the AFA letter is issued. Electronic delivery of AFA letters is done through the MyOSD Student Portal.

Note that even though AFAs are delivered electronically, the student is still responsible for speaking with the instructor and the Department Liaison to arrange for accommodations.

Instructor contact information can be found in the Department Directory.

The Math Department OSD Liaison is in APM 7409. Email: math-osd-liaison@math.ucsd.edu

The Department Liaison must have an electronic copy of the AFA letter on file before the student will receive any exam accommodations.

Students are authorized to receive accommodations only as listed on the current AFA letter on file. AFA letters are only valid for a specific term and must be renewed each quarter.

If your course has remote/online exams, the Department Liaison will help coordinate extended-time in Canvas and/or Gradescope with your instructor.

If your course has in-person exams, the Department Liaison will reach out to you regarding exam scheduling before your exam dates. Accommodated in-person exams will be planned to overlap with the course's scheduled exam time, unless the AFA specifies otherwise, and should be scheduled with at least 3-5 business days advance notice.

Please note: You may be enrolled in other courses that will have you self-schedule accommodated exams through Register Blast for the Triton Testing Center. MATH exams in Register Blast are not set up to be self-scheduled. Scheduling your in-person accommodated Math exams will be done separately through email. The main reason we schedule MATH exams this way is because 20-40% of our exams need to be scheduled in APM or rescheduled for another day/time when the TTC is full, and we can better track those exam space needs if the Department Liaison is involved in the scheduling process.

In-person exams may be administered in the APM building, the Triton Testing Center (PCYNH), or elsewhere, depending on various scheduling factors. Check-in locations for all in-person exams will be sent in advance.

Accommodated in-person exams will be arranged to overlap with the course's scheduled exam time, unless the AFA specifies otherwise or the instructor approves a reschedule.

Students are not guaranteed a rescheduled exam time to avoid conflicts with their other lectures. Any exam rescheduling is at the discretion of the instructor, unless specifically authorized in an AFA letter.

The Department Liaison may speak with the TTC staff, the instructor, and/or TA of the course about students’ accommodations as they pertain to exam administration.

Students are responsible for abiding by the UCSD rules of academic integrity.

Except in cases when a student's AFA specifies "alone-no other students present," there may be more than one student using the exam room, as authorized by the Department Liaison and/or the TTC staff.

There may be exam-related interruptions by instructors, TAs, proctors, or the Department Liaison during the exam.

The Department Liaison works to ensure that completed exams are handed back to instructors/TAs in a timely fashion.
