All exam accommodations recorded on a student’s LENS report apply to all credit-bearing assessments, including in-class assessments. It is the responsibility of academic staff to ensure that these reasonable accommodations are implemented. Support with coordinating and implementing accommodations is provided by the Academic Registry Disability Assessment Officer, including assistance with extra time, alternative formats, accessible venue setup, invigilation, assistive technology, and temporary disabilities.
