Testing accommodations documented by the SSD office must also be submitted to the Physics Student Services Office as soon as possible. Click on the link below to submit your accommodations and attach your accommodations letter to ensure the appropriate arrangements are made for each of your Physics Intro Course exams.
Instructions: Complete the Exam Accommodations form with all needed information and attach your SSD accommodations letter (REQUIRED). This will inform the Intro Course Coordinator that you need accommodations for your exams.
After you submit the form, monitor your email. You will hear from the Physics Student Services office with details about your accommodated testing for the midterm exams before your class' first midterm. Some
students will be instructed to take their exams at the TAC, while others will be given details to test in extended time and limited distraction settings with Physics SSO. This is dependent on your accommodations, the physics course you are enrolled in, and the availability of the TAC on your testing dates.
- If assigned to take midterms at the TAC, the TAC will be scheduling a testing reservation directly, and the student will be notified, and able to view that reservation in Accommodate.
- If assigned to test in West Hall, the student will receive those details for all midterms within the first few weeks of the semester.
These accommodated exams will overlap with the regular exam time for your class on your assigned midterm exam date.
All students with accommodations in physics intro classes will receive information about their final exam testing arrangements closer to the date of the final.
Note: If you are assigned to test at the TAC, the TAC staff will be scheduling a reservation for you at a time that overlaps with your regular exam time. You should receive an email notifying you of your reservation, and will be able to view the reservation in Accommodate. To learn more about testing accommodations and the TAC, view their webpage. For questions about your reservation, email the TAC at saas.tac.staff@umich.edu or call 734-763-1334 with any questions.
Please email Physics Student Services at physics.sso@umich.edu with any general questions.
Disability Accommodations:
The University of Michigan recognizes disability as an integral part of diversity, equity and inclusion; and is committed to creating as accessible educational environment for students with disabilities/disabled students as possible. Disability can include: mental health conditions, ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, chronic illness, physical conditions, sensory conditions, and more.
If you anticipate or are experiencing barriers based on disability or temporary injuries, Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) (ssd.umich.edu) is the office that students work with to explore reasonable accommodations, tools, and resources.
Students must first be connected with SSD in order to be approved for accommodations for a disability or a temporary injury. If you have not connected with SSD and anticipate or are experiencing a disability-related barrier, and would like to discuss accommodations and/or resources, please contact SSD by completing their initial information form (https://ssd.umich.edu/) For more information, call 734-763-3000 or email ssdoffice@umich.edu.
Once a student has been approved for accommodations, they are expected to submit a Semester Request every semester to create an Accommodation Letter for their courses. Submitting these semester requests are highly important, as they allow you access to your accommodations each semester.
