Submit a CAS exam request

Once exam accommodations have been added to your accommodation plan and you have submitted a Semester Request for the current semester, you will have the option to submit an ‘Exam Booking Request’ through Accommodate to write your exam at the CAS Exam Centre.

Be sure to also review the CAS Exam Centre page and Exam day instructions for all the info you need about taking your exams at the CAS Exam Centre.

Understand critical info

You will be brought to the Make an Exam Booking Request page, where you will see four important notes at the top of the page:

  • Please schedule your exam date and time in accordance with your classes’ scheduled exam time.
  • If you are submitting an exam request outside of your courses’ scheduled date and time, please obtain your instructor’s permission prior to submitting the request.
  • If scheduling a FINAL EXAM, please refer to UFV's Final Exam Schedule. If your exam's end time will be after 9:30 pm when including your extended exam time, you will need to consult with your instructor to arrange an earlier start time.
  • Accommodate will NOT allow you to schedule exam booking requests within 7 days of your exam. You will need to reschedule your exam with your instructor if you miss this deadline.

Click the 'Make an Exam Booking Request' button

  • Please Note Exam Booking Requests must be made 7 days prior to any quiz/test/exam.  
  • The screen also allows the student to view pending ‘Exam Booking Requests’ and approved ‘Exam Booking Requests’

Select your exam time

To schedule an exam, the system will ask you to provide a few pieces of information. It’s important to note that everything you put into the section on the left is simply acting as a filter that helps Accommodate show you the proper date and time for your exam booking request.

Select the Date of Exam, which should be the same date your class is writing the exam.

Select the Start Time, which should be the same start time as your exam.

Drop-down fields allow you to select the start time of your exam. You should input the same time in both places.

 

Confirm if you are scheduling a Final Exam or not, by selecting yes or no.

Selecting yes will default the exam to 3 hours, and your instructor will change the length if this is not the case.

A yes/no toggle will allow you to choose whether this is a final exam booking.

 

Choose your exam length

When scheduling an exam, the exam length will default to the length of your class time. If the quiz/test/exam time given is not the same length as your class, select yes to Override Default Exam Length and indicate the length of time provided to the class.

For students with extended exam time, do not do any calculations here. Accommodate will calculate your extended time automatically based on the length of time the class is given.

 

A yes/no toggle lets you override the default exam length which is set to the normal length of your class. A dropdown below the toggle allows you to input the length of the exam before time accommodations.

Select your check-in and campus location

Select the Check-In and Campus locations. Both should be the same as the location of your course.

A drop-down lets you input the check-in location. A campus checkbox lets you choose the exam centre location.

Select your exam appointment

All available time slots will then appear on the right-side panel. Select an appointment that is the same as the date and time of your quiz/test/exam.

Add your final exam details

A ‘Confirm Exam Booking’ pop-up will appear once a time is selected and will confirm your start and end time, including any extended time accommodations.

The system will ask you to provide us with the name of your instructor, as well as the name of the exam referred to on your course syllabus (i.e.: Midterm Exam).

You will also be asked to unselect any accommodations you will not be using for the exam by unchecking the blue boxes next to an accommodation, as desired.

Checkboxes with your accommodations will appear.
