Accommodations for RRC Polytech Admissions Testing
Students with disabilities are required to meet the same admission requirements as students without disabilities.
If you would like to request accommodations for an admissions test, complete the SAS online registration form. You will need to submit medical documentation confirming your disability and the disability-related symptoms/functional limitations that affect your test performance.
Special Admissions Testing
If you do not meet a program’s regular admission requirements, the College may ask you to complete Special Admissions testing to determine your eligibility.
If you would like to request accommodations for Special Admissions testing, please complete the SAS online registration form. You will need to submit medical documentation confirming your disability and the disability-related symptoms/functional limitations that affect your test performance.
Future Students Who Completed Modified Courses in High School
High school courses that have been modified (or M courses) will not be accepted as meeting an admission requirement.
If you have modified designations on any admission requirement credit, you are required to write Special Admissions testing to determine your eligibility for the program.
Plan Ahead
To make sure your accommodations are ready for the start of your program, it’s always best to meet with an Accessibility Specialist before you start your program. If this isn’t possible, make sure you make an appointment as soon as possible, as accommodation plans take time to develop and implement.
