The Student Disability Access Office (SDAO) (access.duke.edu/students) is available to ensure that students can engage with their courses and related assignments. Students should contact the SDAO to request accommodations under these circumstances. See âTesting Accommodationsâ below.
If you have approved accommodations through the Student Disability Access Office, you do not need to schedule a separate meeting with me do discuss your accommodations, provided you have sent me the approval letter by email.
In accordance with your approved accommodations, you can schedule your exam no earlier than 75 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the regular exam on the day of the exam, and any time after that up to 24 hours after the exam time as scheduled in the syllabus. Try to schedule your exam as close to the scheduled time in the syllabus as possible. As you are taking the exam at a time different than the rest of the class, you are bound by the Duke Community Standard to NOT communicate with anyone regarding the exam, by any means. This includes both specific questions and also general discussion about exam content, length, or perceived difficulty. If you have received these types or any other information about the exam that would put you at an unfair advantage relative to your classmates, or if you require additional accommodations that conflict with the procedures outlined above, please contact Prof. Parise as soon as possible and we will attempt to make alternative arrangements for you, without penalty.
For the final exam: Please schedule your exam no earlier than 3 hours prior to the scheduled start of the regular exam on the day of the exam, and any time after that up to 24 hours after the exam time as scheduled in the syllabus. For example, if the official course exam is scheduled to begin at 7pm, the earliest you should schedule your exam to begin is for 4pm.
