The two-step split
Accessibility Services decides what a student is eligible for; the Testing Center delivers it exam by exam. A student books each accommodated exam ahead of time so the right room, time and materials are ready — a missed booking is rescheduled with the instructor, not lost.
What's available
Extended time, a reduced-distraction or private room, a reader or scribe, screen-reading and speech-to-text software, and paper alternatives to an online exam format, matched to the specific approved need rather than offered as a menu.
In and around Porter Falls
Support at Porter is deliberately clustered on the first two levels of Halvorsen Library so a student can move from one kind of help to another without leaving the building or re-explaining the situation. Walk-in hours run late Monday through Thursday during the semester, and everything can also be booked through MyPorter.
The practical details
Approved by: Accessibility Services, once per condition. Arranged: Each exam, at least 48 hours ahead, through the Testing Center. Cost: Free. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Student Success Center (Halvorsen Library, Level 1). Call (715) 555–0170 or email success@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
