Faculty Instructions for Test Submission

The Assessment Centre uses the program Accommodate for arranging accommodated testing. In Accommodate, faculty can:

• View Assessment Centre test booking requests from students.
• Provide testing information for the Assessment Centre.
• Upload tests/exams.

For more information and instructions about accessing accommodation letters for faculty, please visit Assessing Student Accommodation Plans.

You can access the Accommodate Portal from anywhere.

• If your test is on Brightspace, please provide the password when providing test information in Accommodate.
