Test & Exam Accommodations
The Fred Smithers Centre provides accommodated testing for students registered with the centre, ensuring equitable access to quizzes, tests, midterms and final exams. Students must submit a separate request form for each test at least two weeks (14 days) in advance to allow time for coordination. Late requests may not be accepted.

All students registered with the Fred Smithers Centre are eligible to write their quizzes, tests and midterms at the Fred Smithers Testing Centre located on the 3rd floor of the Student Centre at Saint Mary’s.
It is the student’s responsibility for requesting accommodations for quizzes, tests and midterms and a separate request form must be submitted for each test or exam.
To ensure accommodations are in place, students are asked that they submit their testing request at least two weeks (14 days) prior to the test date.
Once a student has completed the test/exam request form online, the Fred Smithers Centre will reach out to their professor to coordinate the accommodations.
Due to high demand, late requests may not be accepted, and accommodations might not be provided.
To arrange accommodations for final exams, students should submit their request after the final exam schedule is posted by the Registrar’s Office, available on Banner under ‘Concise Student Schedule’.
For end-of-term exams, students will be required to submit their request for accommodations in November for Fall term exams and in March for Winter term exams. Specific deadlines will be communicated via email to all registered FSC students once they are set, and will also be announced on the FSC landing page.

A Test Request Form is only necessary for online exams if proctoring is required.
