Exam Scheduling
Students are expected to test on the same date/time as the class. Exceptions will ONLY be considered for academic scheduling conflicts. Students must inform AEC of any academic schedule or disability-related conflicts at least 2 weeks before an exam date so AEC can identify an alternate time. To submit Test Accommodation Exam Requests, please refer to How to submit a test accommodation form Tutorial.
Academic conflicts include:
- Class times that start/end outside AEC Testing’s hours
- Other classes that would overlap with a student’s prescribed extended time
Late Exam Requests:
Requests must be submitted at least 3 business days prior to the exam date; If faculty is unable to make alternative arrangements for student's testing accommodations, student will test in class under standard testing time and conditions. Student must check SJSU email and MyAEC regularly to ensure important reminders/announcements are not missed.
Students should read AEC’s Testing FAQs thoroughly each semester to ensure they understand how to schedule exams, communicate with faculty, address scheduling conflicts, and show up to exams prepared.
