Student Accommodations

• When students request accommodations to standard policy and/or procedure in UC San Diego academic departments 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.
• Students are responsible for registering promptly with the OSD. In order to ensure that accommodations are met, students MUST follow the procedures of both the OSD and The Rady School of Management.
• Students should consult with an OSD Disability Specialist quarterly, as soon as course registration occurs, to obtain an Authorization for Accommodation (AFA) letter for each course in which accommodations are needed.
• In order for faculty and staff to follow OSD accommodations, students must accept accommodations on their OSD Portal.

After a student accepts their OSD accommodations on their OSD Portal, instructors and liaisons are notified and provided with a copy of the student’s AFA.

• Instructors and staff cannot follow a student's accommodations unless a copy of the AFA letter is received. AFA letters are only valid for a specific term and must be renewed each quarter.
• Students should review the course accommodations on their AFA letter with the instructors on the first day of class. If the instructor has any questions or concerns about a particular accommodation, they can reach out to the OSD Office directly — osd@ucsd.edu.
• The Undergraduate Rady School of Management OSD Liaisons will send an email to all students with accommodations around Friday of Week 2. If a student does not receive their AFA letter until after Friday of Week 2, it is the student's responsibility to contact Rady's OSD liaison at undergrad@rady.ucsd.edu
• No accommodations will be retroactively applied.

It is the responsibility of the student to communicate with their instructor and understand how their quizzes and exams will be accommodated. Below are the 3 ways in which a student’s accommodations can be met.

1. The Triton Testing Center (TTC)

If your professor is using the TTC, it is located in Pepper Canyon Hall. If you have accommodations for no exams earlier and/or later than a certain time of day, please contact the TTC at tritontesting@ucsd.edu and include (cc) your instructor in the email.

• To get started, students should log into the TTC Portal as soon as possible to create their account, confirm their accommodations and schedule their exams within the parameters (e.g., testing window) provided by their instructors.
• Students are expected to schedule their exams/quizzes no later than the end of Week 2. While the official standard policy states no less than 3 business days, we expect students to schedule their exams well in advance. The TTC has limited capacity and will likely not be able to accommodate late requests.
• Keep in mind that the TTC portal is for scheduling only and it is the student’s responsibility to connect with their instructor prior to their exam to remind them they are taking their exam outside of the classroom.

2. The Instructor and/or TA will proctor the quiz/exam.

• If a student’s professor/TAs are proctoring them, the student must connect directly with them for further instruction.

3. Rady’s Undergraduate Liaisons will proctor the quiz/exam. Rady Liaisons only proctor quizzes/exams that are online. We do not proctor paper quizzes/exams.

If a professor requests that Rady Liaisons proctor a student’s quiz/exam, the student must submit a Rady OSD Google form at least 72 business hours in advance of a scheduled in-person quiz or exam. A Rady liaison will follow up with the student via email with further instructions.

• Rady School of Management cannot guarantee to provide appropriate accommodations if a student emails the department less than 72 business hours prior to the exam date.
• All exams must be administered during regular office hours, M-Th 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., unless otherwise arranged with the instructor or TA serving as proctor after hours.
• All exams will be administered during the day of the in-class exam.
  • Exceptions to this include the following:
    • The student’s extended time testing conflicts with another class they are taking.
    • The student’s OSD accommodations include the ability to reschedule.
    • The student has an additional exception that does not relate to OSD, for example, a sudden unforeseen documented illness that allows for the reschedule (student’s must follow the reschedule procedures indicated on their course syllabus in order to be accommodated).

• Students should check in with the Rady Department Liaison (Otterson Hall 2E008) 5-10 minutes prior to the start time of their scheduled exam.
• Students are responsible for abiding by the UC San Diego rules of academic integrity.
• There may be more than one student utilizing the exam room at the same time, as authorized by the Department Liaison.
• There may be exam-related interruptions by instructors, TAs, or the Department Liaison during the exam.
• The Rady School of Management Department Liaison cannot guarantee a silent testing area. Students may bring standard earplugs (non-electronic) to any exam.
