At GW, testing accommodations are provided to students who have submitted the necessary documentation and have received a DSS Letter of Eligibility outlining their approved accommodations. Test Proctoring Services may be administered through DSS whenever students are unable to arrange to take their exams in class. , “testing accommodations are changes to the regular testing environment and auxiliary aids and services that allow individuals with disabilities to demonstrate their true aptitude or achievement level on standardized exams or other high-stakes tests.”
