Process for Requesting Accommodation for the TEAS Test
To be considered for ATI TEAS accommodations, please submit your accommodations request to frontdesk@sumnercollege.edu at least 30 days prior to testing/signing up for a test date. Attach a letter from an objective physician or healthcare professional qualified to diagnose the disability or medical condition and render an opinion as to the need for accommodation. An “objective” professional is one who is not the requestor or related to the requestor. The letter must be dated within 2 years of the anticipated date of your exam. If you are a high school student, or post-secondary student who is within 2 years of high school graduation, an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) may be used in lieu of the letter provided the IEP is actively in place. The letter or IEP MUST include the following: 1. The specific disability/diagnosis. Mental/emotional disabilities must be accompanied by a numerical DSM-IV classification code. 2. A brief explanation of how this condition limits the candidate’s ability to take the exam under standard conditions. 3. If this is not a permanent disability or diagnosis, include the date first diagnosed, approximate duration, and method used to make the diagnosis. 4. Specific accommodations required. These accommodations should be adequate without creating an unfair advantage. Please note that candidates who require extra time to complete the exam will be given 1 1/2 times the standard allotted time. If more time is needed, the letter or IEP must specifically state how much time is needed and why that amount of time is required.
