According to Federal Law, no (otherwise) qualified person with a disability shall be denied a benefit or opportunity or be excluded from participation solely on the basis of that disability. This means that accommodation or adjustment may be made on a case by case basis to enable an otherwise qualified person with a disability to have full access to classes and programs at Queensborough Community College. 

In order to receive accommodations,  students must be enrolled at Queensborough Community College, registered with the Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) and have appropriate documentation on file. Accommodations are arranged on an individualized basis and must be approved by OAS. 

Scheduling Class Exams

Students are responsible for scheduling each exam for which they are seeking accommodations through the Office of Accessibility Services. In order to schedule an exam and receive the appropriate accommodations, the following steps must be taken for each exam you are requesting accommodations for: 

1. Complete the online Testing Accommodation form (above) found under OAS Forms at least two (2) business days (Monday-Friday) before the date of the exam. 
2. You will receive an email from the OAS Lab confirming your exam accommodation request. 
3. Report to the OAS Lab in Library 116 at the scheduled time for the exam. 

This procedure applies to all classroom exams, including mid-terms and final exams.

In order to take any of the above examinations using the accommodations that you are approved for then you must come in to the office (S132) to make the testing appointment. The university gives the CUNY examinations and the OAS office works in conjunction with the Testing Office to provide you with the reasonable accommodations.

The Office of Accessibility Services Lab (OAS Lab Library room 116) provides a supportive environment for students who require accommodation(s) for testing, studying, tutoring and for assistive technology.
