If you need the date or time of your exam changed for accommodation reasons, please initiate a conversation with your instructor well before the AES deadlines.

Some accommodations that may require date and/or time changes include “morning exams only”, “afternoon exams only”, and “no more than one final exam per 24-hour period”.

You should approach that conversation as a negotiation and work towards agreeing on a new date and time that works for both of you.

That conversation can be broached by providing your instructor with a copy of your Letter to Professor (LTP), to remind them that you have a relevant accommodation on file with AES. In addition to providing the LTP, explain why the scheduled date and/or time is problematic for you. Be prepared to provide supporting evidence, such as a list of your other exams/academic obligations. Suggest a new date and/or time of writing, but understand that your instructor may suggest a different date and/or time. The two of you should work together towards a mutual agreement.

*Please note that AES only supports date and/or time changes for accommodation-related reasons as on file with our office.
