Arranging Testing Accommodations
Implementing academic accommodations is a shared responsibility between the student, the instructor, and the College. Students are responsible for requesting that their accommodation letter be sent to their instructors. Accommodation letters are requested through Workday. NOTE: Accommodations are not retroactive; they are for future/ongoing use unless otherwise indicated as “provisional” with a specific applicable term.
Testing Accommodation Requests
- Testing accommodation requests for exams/quizzes must be requested by the student at least three (3) school days before each examination.
- Testing accommodation requests for final exams must be requested by the student at least one (1) week before the examination.
- Students can request their test by completing the Student Accessibility Services Exam Request Form
- One you have completed the SAS Exam Request form, save it and then forward it to the following email: ACCTesting@tsc.fl.edu.
Certiport Testing
Students can schedule accommodations for tests administered by Certiport by setting up a Certiport ID account and making sure to provide both the Certiport Exam Accommodations Request Form and Release Form to the Student Accessibility Services Office. Please fax the Accommodations Request Form and Release Form, as well as a copy of your documentation to (850) 492-4160. Or, you may bring the application materials to our office, where someone can fax the information to you.
The application will take up to 10 days to process, so we encourage you to complete the application as early as possible.
Complete the Certiport application process.
Certiport has specific guidelines for required documentation. Student Accessibility Services does not determine approval of accommodations for Certiport exams.

Voting Registration:
The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), a federal law, and the Florida Voter Registration Act require that university and community college offices serving persons with disabilities offer those persons the opportunity to register to vote or to update a voter registration record at the time the applicant applies for services or assistance, applies for renewal of such services or assistance, and/or applies for a change of address.
The Center will provide persons with disabilities a preference form, and if persons indicate they want to apply to vote, the Center will provide a voter registration application form. For persons with disabilities who choose not to contact the Center in-person the following links provide alternative opportunities to register to vote.
