The New AES Exam Centre is open in Williams Building

Beginning Fall 2024, the Access and Equity Services (AES) Exam Program will be located in our new Access and Equity Services Exam Centre, located in a large dedicated and accessible space in the Williams Building. The main office will be located at Room 344, next to a roomy and comfortable lounge area that AES students are welcome to use as a gathering and/or study space. Exams will be written on the third and fourth floors of the building.

The Williams Building is located on Cumberland Avenue, has an elevator and is accessible with transportation drop-offs and pick-ups at the rear, accessible entrance. There are also hourly pay parking spots and a city bus stop in front of the building. Please note that AES has retained a small number of exam locations on the main campus for students with restricted mobility who are unable to arrange transportation to Williams.

The AES Exam Program no longer has a sustainable way of securing sufficient and suitable space for accommodated exams in other campus buildings. The Program has grown exponentially since its inception in 1996. During the 2023-24 academic year, the Program arranged accommodations for over 15,000 exams; 4,070 of those exams were written in April 2024 alone. We are very excited about the potential of the Williams Building as a home for the AES Exam Program and we look forward to seeing you in the new space and invigilating any accommodated exams that you may have.

An open house for the USask community will take place on Thursday, Sept 19 from 11 am –2 pm in the Williams building. Please join us for a come and go tour of our new space and meet with our exams team. Refreshments will be provided.
