What happens now that exams offered in a distance-learning format? How do I get extended time for an exam?

Please communicate with your instructors to discuss your exam accommodations in their courses.

Some instructors may opt for alternative assessments (e.g. essays, untimed exams) which would not require exam accommodations.
If your instructor is creating online timed exams, please notify your instructor if you will need extended time.

I currently have a volunteer note-taker assigned in my in-person class. Now that class is offered in a distance-learning format, will I still receive a copy of the notes?

Once you have learned from your instructor on how they will adapt the course for virtual instruction, please let your instructor know if you would like to continue receiving notes.
You may find that you no longer need a note-taker due to the course design changes. For example, lectures that are prerecorded videos can be watched at your own pace.
