DRES Accommodations

Upload your Spring 2023 DRES LOA (Must Use Illinois Google Account to Submit Form)

IMPORTANT: The CBTF cannot add DRES accommodations at the time of an exam. They MUST be uploaded 5 business days beforehand. 

 In the event of a failure to submit a LOA in a timely manner, students may reschedule their exam or take the exam without their accommodations.

 

The CBTF does its best to accommodate all students and provides accommodations as defined by Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES). In cases where we are unable to provide a specific DRES accommodation, we will work with you and your Access Specialist to find the best solution.

Accommodations

The CBTF supports the following accommodations:

  • extended time for testing (including breaks)
  • use of a computer for testing
  • a reduced-distraction environment for testing
  • wheelchair-accessible seating
  • use of a calculator
  • access to food and drink
  • restroom breaks
  • others--please consult with the CBTF and your Access Specialist about other accommodations

Enabling DRES Accommodations in the CBTF

If you have accommodations identified by the Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) for exams, please submit it using the form linked below.

  • A proctor will update your CBTF profile. This only needs to be done once per semester, and takes effect for all CBTF courses. It is better to do this early, well before your first exam.
  • Profile updates do not affect any previous reservations made, so if you made a reservation BEFORE your profile was updated to reflect your accommodations, you need to change it and make sure that your accommodations show up correctly.

Disabling DRES Accommodations in the CBTF

If you decide you no longer want to utilize your DRES accommodations in the CBTF, they can be removed by emailing cbtf@illinois.edu. It can take up to 2 business days for your accommodations to be removed.  Deleting your accommodations does not affect existing reservations.  Testing accommodations can be added again using the form linked below, but can take up to 5 business days to be processed.
