CSD’s Faculty Test Administration Services for Final Exams
With Fall 2022 Finals quickly approaching, we are providing some guidance on final exam procedures for students with approved testing accommodations. Please be sure to reiterate this information to your students.
- Exams taken remotely should not be scheduled at the CSD. If your final exam will be a ‘take home’ version or given remotely in a location of the student’s choice, students do not need to submit scheduling requests with the CSD. Please coordinate accommodations (i.e., 2x) directly with your students. Please connect with the student’s Disability Service Professional (DSP) if you have any concerns.
- Whenever possible, students should take final exams with their instructors – students are not required to take exams at the CSD.
- Students taking their exams at the CSD must submit their requests to take a final exam at the CSD through MyAccess, the online system, at least one week (or 7 days) in advance of the final exam date. MyAccess can be accessed from the CSD’s website homepage or directly at www.csd.uconn.edu or directly at https://csd.uconn.edu/myaccess

Tuesday, December 13th | Tuesday, December 6th |
Wednesday, December 14th | Wednesday, December 7th |
Friday, December 16th | Friday, December 9th |
Saturday, December 17th | Saturday, December 10th |
- CSD anticipates reaching seating capacity and may not be able to assist with all final exam requests.
- The CSD will be open extended hours (8:00 am-10:00 pm) and on Saturday to administer all exam blocks during finals week.
- If students are approved for extended time and have exams that are in back-to-back time blocks on the same day, they should first contact their CSD DSP via email. CSD will verify exam information and submit a completed Request to Reschedule Finals Form to the Dean of Students office. DOS will notify you and the student that an exam is approved to be rescheduled.
- CSD will be using in-person graduate proctors and live video proctoring to ensure the academic integrity of exams. No video will be recorded or stored.
- Check in for all exams will be held in the CSD office, room 204 of Wilbur Cross even though students will be taking exams in the CSD office(s) and in the Wilbur Cross North Reading Room.
- If your class is taking a final exam online, your students must bring their own laptops to the CSD to take their scheduled final.
- Final exams should be uploaded to your MyAccess for Instructors portal at least 24 hours in advance (preferably 48 hours in advance) of the final for the Accommodations Team to prepare materials.
- Instructors or designees may pick up completed exams at CSD anytime between 8:00 am and 5:00pm. CSD will be unable to deliver finals because of the high volume of exams being administered.
