Yes, we are still available remotely Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. All drop-ins and student appointments will be conducted via phone or virtually via Zoom until further notice.

If a student strongly prefers to meet in person, every effort will be made to meet this request, though social distancing requirements must be practiced, and masks must be worn by all parties.

Please communicate with your instructors to discuss your exam accommodations in their courses.  

• Some instructors may opt for alternative assessments (e.g. essays, untimed exams) that would not require exam accommodations.  
• If your instructor is creating online timed exams, please make sure your professor knows you receive extended testing time. Professors will be responsible for setting up extended testing time within their online platform.

The Center for Accessibility Resources is available to instructors and students to consult about unique circumstances.  

All volunteer student note-takers have been asked to continue taking notes and uploading them. If you are having difficulty receiving your notes please contact us.

Due to the switch to virtual learning, you may find that you no longer need a note-taker due to the course design changes. For example, lectures that are prerecorded videos can be watched at your own pace.

If you are a student currently registered with the center, please contact Erin Hannaford if you need to add additional accommodations.

If you are not currently registered with the Center for Accessibility Resources, please begin by completing the online registration form.

Extended time on exams as an accommodation generally only applies to traditional, time-limited exams. If you decide to offer alternative means of assessment (e.g. essays, non-timed exams, project work), then a student’s extended time may no longer be applicable. We encourage you to speak with registered students if that is the case. 

The testing center will remain open to proctor exams while Lebanon Valley College’s instruction remains online only. Even with exams being administered online or through other remote assessment methods, the testing center will remain open for registered students that are on campus or local. If you have a student who would like to use the testing center, they must register to take their exam in the testing center three days before the exam date by completing the form here: Register for exams online.

Please communicate with your students to discuss their exam accommodations in your courses.

Prior to making time allotment adjustments, please confirm how much extended time each of your students should get for their quizzes/exams.

You can confirm an individual student’s extended time by checking their Letter of Accommodation or contacting the Center for Accessibility Resources.
