Student Accessibility Services

The links on the left provide Students with their roles and responsibilities. We encourage each Buffalo State Student registered with Student Accessibility Services to familiarize themselves with all of our policies and procedures as well as their role in making the Testing Center at Student Accessibility Services successful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Andrea Gustafson, Learning + Accommodations Specialist and Staff member in charge of the Testing Center at exams@buffalostate.edu.

A brief summary of the most important items are below, their full descriptions are in the links to the left:

• Make your Seat Reservation for your exam 5-7 days before your exam using the online form.
