Guidelines for Current and Prospective Students - Alternative Arrangements for Assessment (AAA's) - Disability Liaison Unit (DLU)Alternative Arrangements for Assessment (AAA's) ensure that students with disabilities have equal opportunity in all types of assessments. The term refers to any variation in the structure, format, duration, or venue of an examination or assignment. This includes extra time, separate or private examination venues, use of technology, furniture, and use of scribe's, etc. AAA's are most often applied to examinations. ProceduresWhen a student makes contact with the Disability Liaison Unit (DLU) a through assessment of the student's needs is undertaken including the requirements for AAA's. The details of the AAA's are then documented on a student's file. The DLU will request current supporting documentation prior to any support being implemented or AAAs finalised. Towards the end of each semester students requiring AAA's will be forwarded a letter with details of their AAA's. It is the student's responsibility to sign this form and return it to the DLU as soon as possible. If this form is not received by the date indicated on the letter there it may not be possible to provide the student with the necessary accommodations. Once the AAA form is received, the DLU will sign the form and forward a copy to the examination branch, a copy to the Faculty and a copy to the student. Students are advised to take their form along to each of their exams and show the form to the exam supervisor. If students have not discussed AAA's or wish to review AAA's with the DLU it is their responsibility to contact us at least 4 weeks prior to commencement of exams. Class tests/departments tests/special examsWhere a student has a class test or any type of test or examination, which is held within the Faculty, and they require AAA's where possible the DLU must be advised at least one month prior to the scheduled date of the exam. The DLU will need to complete a separate form and forward the request for AAA's directly to the lecturer. For further information contact the Disability Liaison Unit:
