     <li>Students are required to adhere to the Accommodation Policy (ADA Policy) that is listed in the UNMC Student Policies and Procedures (see policy in related documents).</li>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="10" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid black;">
    <li>Students with accommodations must present their letter of accommodations from the UNMC Accessibility Services Office to the course coordinator at least one week prior to any exam for which accommodations are requested. Once the letter has been provided to the coordinator, the accommodations will remain in effect for the length of time specified in the letter or until the student in writing indicates the accommodations are no longer needed.</li>
     <tr>
    <li>Accommodated students are expected to comply with timely arrival at the location for testing identified by the course coordinator.</li>
          <th>Item Difficulty</th>
     <li>Faculty will prepare accommodation materials and resources as specified in student letter.</li>
          <th>Point Biserial < 0.10</th>
    <li>Faculty will work with On-line Testing Coordinator and any other personnel needed to facilitate testing accommodations for students (e.g., low distraction room, additional testing time). </li>
          <th>Point Biserial 0.10-0.29</th>
     <li>On campuses that use affiliated university testing services, complete the accommodated testing form. </li>
          <th>Point Biserial > 0.30</th>
     <li>Students testing via a paper copy will use a specified excel form to record exam answers. Once the exam is completed, the student will transfer the exam answers to the exam software, or the excel form data will be uploaded into the exam software by College of Nursing personnel. Transferring of the exam answers is not included in the allotted exam time.</li>

===Make-Up Exams===
<ul style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:67em !important;">
     <li style="margin-bottom:10px;">Faculty have discretion in approving and scheduling make-up exams.  </li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:10px;">Make-up exams may be administered in an alternate format (e.g., essay, short answer, or multiple-choice) but must be equivalent in point value to the original exam.  </li>
    <li style="margin-bottom:10px;">Faculty are responsible for ensuring that make-up exams maintain academic rigor and integrity consistent with the original assessment. </li>
