OSD Accommodations
The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) determines reasonable accommodations based on the student’s current functional limitations. Only students who have been issued an Authorization for Accommodation (AFA) Letter by the OSD are eligible for accommodations.
TRITON TESTING CENTER
Triton Testing Center provides secure and integral testing services to students who need to take their paper-based tests outside the time and space constraints of the classroom. TTC can only accept paper-based tests. Any test portions with sound or video components are not permitted. TTC does not administer tests on Canvas or any other platform.
For students:
- If your instructor permits, you will schedule your accommodated tests directly with the Triton Testing Center (TTC).
- To get started, you must fill out a TTC student registration form. Once the TTC has approved and created your account, you can log in to their system to confirm your accommodations and schedule your tests within the parameters (e.g., testing window) provided by the instructor.
- Students must schedule their tests at least 3 days in advance of the testing day to reserve a seat. Students who miss the scheduling window can email us at tritontesting@ucsd.edu for further assistance, though seat availability isn't guaranteed on short notice. Walk-in appointments are unavailable at this time.
For instructors:
- To receive an exam accommodation, each student must have an issued Authorization for Accommodation (AFA) letter that has been issued by the Office for Students with Disabilities.
- Create an account with UC San Diego’s RegisterBlast. Once your account is created, you will be able to log in to Register Blast to submit your test(s) request, securely upload your test(s), and provide testing instructions and preferences. A brief tutorial of the process can be found here.
- Registering your test does not reserve your students' seats at the TTC. Let your students know that your tests are available for scheduling on RegisterBlast. Students must schedule their tests at least 3 days in advance of the testing day to reserve a seat.
- RegisterBlast will also enable you to see all of your tests in one spot, as well as when a student has completed a test. Once you’ve created an account, the TTC will contact you directly with detailed instructions and guidance.
