Procedures

IF YOU ARE TAKING A NATIONAL EXAM (OPIc, iWPT, CLEP, etc.)
Students needing to request accommodations for a national exam must follow the request process established by the testing company. This information can typically be found on the company's website, and the process and timeline vary for each company.

IF YOU ARE TAKING AN ONLINE PLACEMENT TEST (Math, English, or World Language) 
Students who are requesting accommodations for online placement tests should not use the online registration system at the Center for Placement Testing website to sign up for a testing date. Instead, go to the UW Center for Placement Testing and follow the instructions to email your information to Tim O'Connor and begin the accommodation process.

IF YOU ARE TAKING AN IN-PERSON PLACEMENT TEST AT THE UW-WHITEWATER TESTING CENTER (Math, English, or World Language) 

Students seeking accommodations for in-person placement tests at the UW-Whitewater Testing Center are required to follow the new student request process through the UW-Whitewater Center for Students with Disabilities Office. Please refer to the the information on the process.  After accommodations are on file with CSD, students need to request that CSD send their accommodations to the UW-Whitewater Testing Office. Once documentation from CSD approving the required accommodations has been received in the Testing Office, an appointment can be made by calling the Testing Office at (262) 472-5613 or emailing us at testing@uww.edu.
