Update Accommodation Memo

Question

How often do I need to update my accommodation memo

Answer

  1. It depends. Often high schools provide students with modification rather than accommodations.
  2. Modifications at the high school level are often changes to the curriculum – allowing multiple choice instead of essay exams; allowing fewer questions be answered on an exam; not having to read all of the books for a literature class; etc.
  3. Modifications are not provided at the college level. Accommodations do not change the curriculum or format of exams. Accommodations are provided to ensure access to the class content and provide the opportunity to show you have mastered the class content.
