Standardized Testing Accommodations (TEAS, CBEST, etc.)

Accessible Standardized Testing accommodations for tests such as the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS) are provided by the University Testing Office after receiving notification of accommodations from Accessibility Services. Below are the steps to take in order to request testing accommodations for such tests along with more detailed information below.

1. Register and pay for the standardized test according to published procedures and deadlines provided by the Testing Office

This can be done by visiting University Testing Office or by calling (510) 885-3662 to register for the test by the published deadline.

2. Contact Accessibility Services for accommodations.

Immediately after registering for the test, contact Accessibility Services to submit an Accessible Standardized Testing Request form (Word | PDF) and schedule a phone or in-person appointment with a counselor to discuss your accommodation needs. If you already receive testing accommodations through our office, only submitting the testing request is necessary. The deadline for Accessibility Services to receive this request is the same as the University Testing Office's published registration deadline for the same exam.

3. Arrive to your testing location early.

Check-in starts 30 minutes before and ends 10 minutes prior to the exam's start time and ends 10 minutes before the start of the exam. Please visit the University Testing Office's website for more information about test day protocol.

4. Repeat this process if you need to take another University test.

The Accessible Standardized Testing Request form (Word | PDF) is valid only for the test and date specified on the form. If you take another test with the Testing Office in the future, you will need to complete a new Accessible Standardized Testing Request.
