Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) Accommodation Information

The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) is responsible for determining accommodations based on the individual’s current functional limitations. Only students who have been issued an Authorization for Accommodation (AFA) by the OSD may be eligible for exam accommodations. The School of Biological Sciences OSD Liaison ( bioosd@ucsd.edu) will work directly with the student to facilitate all exam accommodations for undergraduate courses offered by the Division. The division adheres to Academic Senate policy to make accommodations.

Students must schedule their biology course exams with the Biology OSD Liaison. If the student decides to take the exam in class or if the instructor elects to handle exam accommodations directly, the Biology OSD Liaison is not expected to provide any exam accommodations.

Our office requires a minimum of 3 business days to process biology exam requests. If students delay in submitting their AFA letters to our office, exam accommodations will not be guaranteed.

For more information, please review the School of Biological Sciences OSD Procedures.
