Click the "select the exam group" box and select your exam group.

*All exam groups will start with "Accommodation Exams- Fall 2024"  (semester and year will change) Followed by your course name "&gt; SAS First Year Experience 23-24"*

Accommodation Exams- Fall 2024 > SAS First Year Experience 23-24

If you have multiple sections of the same course you can put them on one submission.

You then need to choose if you have a set time exam or an open window for students to schedule. Examples in the next two steps.

Only select one of the two following choices. Entering time in both will result in your submission being denied.

Example of a set time exam: You want all students to take the exam on a certain day and 11:00am. You would select that day and that time. This will only allow students the option to schedule that one appointment time.

Student's extended time can cause a set time exam to interfere with other classes or obligations. If they are not able to take it at that set time you would have to put in an additional submission for them with alternate dates/times. To avoid this, we recommend having the exam open for one day or more.

Example of an open window of dates for students to test: 

- You want all students to schedule any time on one day, put the start and end date as that one date. This allows to students to schedule anytime during that one day that works for them.
- You want students to test any time between Tuesday and Thursday put those dates as the start date and end date. This allows students to schedule anytime that works for them during those dates.

If you put in a time restriction this will only let the students schedule during those times on all days the exam is open.

*Example: Students will be able to schedule on 9/18 from 8am-1pm, 9/19 from 8am-1pm and 9/20 from 8am-1pm. This is not a continuous block of time.*

For Instructors to refer a Canvas exam to the EAC, instructors will have to create a referral on RegisterBlast for each Canvas Course on the Exam Accommodations Center RegisterBlast. 

*Note: Submitting a referral to the regular testing centers does not automatically submit a referral to the EAC and the EAC can not use referrals submitted to the regular testing centers.
