Job Summary:

The Accessible Testing Facilitator integrates approved student testing accommodations into the administration and proctoring of examinations coordinated through the Office of Disability, Access, and Inclusion (ODAI). Working under the guidance of the Assistant Director, in coordination with the Testing Coordinator and established ODAI procedures, this position helps implement and ensure students receive approved testing accommodations, assists with exam preparation and administration, and serves as a proctor for accommodated examinations.

This role delivers accessible testing services by addressing testing-related issues that arise during examinations and coordinating timely communication among students, faculty, and ODAI staff. The position exercises independent judgement in resolving testing concerns and escalating complex accommodation, policy, procedural, or technical issues to senior ODAI staff as appropriate.
