The electronic SDS Test Submission Form in RT (Request Tracker) replaces the previously hand-written Accommodated Test Form (Pink Form).
Tests attached to these RT tickets are stored in a secure Box location. If you do not wish to attach the test to this ticket, you must still complete the form at the link below but please bring the hard copy to the SDS office as soon as possible.
You may list multiple students taking the same test on this form. SDS will print an Accommodated Test Form for each student. For more information, see instructions and FAQ.
