The Student Accessibility Services (SAS) Exam Centre is the place where students registered with the SAS can request to write tests and exams. The Exam Centre is located on the second floor [1] of the McLaughlin Library.
If you have exam accommodations approved for the current semester, and you want to apply them to an in-person quiz, test or exam, you must book with the Exam Centre. View exam booking deadlines. During final exams and busy midterm times some exams may be administered in satellite locations. Students should monitor their UofG email for details close to the test date.

Important Exam Centre Information
Online quizzes, tests and exams
- You need to make an exam booking if the class is writing the exam in-person.
- If the class is writing online only (not in person), you will write this in the same format as the class unless you have an accommodation that says otherwise. Time accommodations are automatically applied to CourseLink exams.
- If an approved accommodation is not available to you at the time that you go to write the test or exam, get help before you start writing by contacting CourseLink Support [8].
