Taking Exams in the SAA Testing Center

The Student Accessibility and Accommodations Office wishes to remind faculty that starting Fall 2023 all tests for students with testing accommodations will be uploaded to your Faculty Accommodate account. The Accommodate portal can be accessed through the tiles at login.pugetsound.edu.

  • Students must have a disability and be registered with SAA (as indicated by the accommodation forms they bring to faculty for signature during the semester).
  • SAA only proctors exams that are being proctored for the rest of the class.
  • Students must reserve a spot in the SAA Testing Center at least 4 class days prior to their exam.
  • Exams must be uploaded to your Accommodate account 24 hours in advance of the exam time; Monday exams by 3 p.m. on the previous Friday. Click here for faculty Accommodate instructions.
  • Send corrections to an exam in progress to saa@pugetsound.edu. This email is monitored the entire time students are in the SAA Testing Center. Phone lines are not monitored by the SAA Testing Center.
  • How the student intends to use their testing accommodations will be discussed during the Implementation of Accommodations Meeting with Instructor.
