Testing Services

AS OF SPRING SEMESTER 2026, WE NOW USE AIM FOR ACCOMDATED TESTING!  PLEASE WATCH THIS PAGE AND READ YOUR EMAIL FOR UPDATES! 

The University is changing from Accommodate to AIM for all Accessibility needs.  This means professors will now upload tests and students will make appointment through AIM.  Tutorials coming soon!

Please note: AIM uses the terminology “Alternative Testing,” while we use “Accommodated Testing.”  Unfortunately, AIM cannot change their terminology.  Additionally “Course Instruction Template” is the new terminology for “test cover sheet.”  Staff need this fully filled out prior to proctoring to ensure that we are following faculty protocol.  The Course Instruction Template can and should be filled out at the beginning of the semester to save faculty time.

1. After speaking with your professor(s) log into AIM: https://pike.accessiblelearning.com/UWOSH using your UWO NetID and password.

2. Fill out the information needed in AIM completely, making sure to do the following:

• Choose the room in North Clow 205 you would like to test in. (PLEASE NOTE – the room you choose is the one you’ll be testing in.)
• Choose the accommodations that you WISH to use, not all the ones you are approved to use (you do not have to use all your accommodations for all your tests. However, you can’t use accommodations for which you are not approved.)

3. YOU MUST BOOK A SEAT TO TEST AT LEAST 72 HOURS PRIOR TO THE TEST DATE AND TIME. Failure to do so will result in not being able to take the test at that time.

4. Completed exams are scanned and sent back to your instructor within 48 business hours.

Helpful Hints:

• You may, and are encouraged to, book all tests for the entire semester as early as you can.
• Note the days, times (and locations) of your tests in your personal planner or time management app.
• Need to cancel a scheduled testing appointment?  No problem!  Just log into AIM and cancel the appointment as soon as possible, so another student can take the slot.
• Do you need to change your testing time and its less than 72 hours in advance?  Please email your instructor and cc accommodatedtesting@uwosh.edu requesting a new date and time.  Be sure to include your name, the class, and the new date and time you would like to take the test.  Once your instructor approves the change, we will change your appointment.

If you are trying to book a seat and you get “none available”:

• Check your date and time — are you requesting an appointment when Accommodated testing isn’t open?  Or an appointment that will last until after they close?
• Please try expanding your search for dates and/or times.
• Have you completed your semester request for your accommodations?
• Call 920-424-0073 during business hours for help.

Accommodated Testing, NClow 205 Monday – Friday, 8am – 4pm.

1. The biggest change to AIM is that faculty will get fewer emails and only need to upload an exam once per section!  Additionally, you do not have to wait for a student to make an appointment — you can upload your exam when you’re ready and AIM will automatically link your students’ request to your class.  To save time, please go to AIM at the beginning of each semester and fill out the course instruction template.  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO UPLOAD AN EXAM AT THIS TIME. 

2.  Log into AIM https://pike.accessiblelearning.com/UWOSH/Instructor using your UWO NetID and password.

2. Fill out the Course Instruction Template needed in AIM completely, making sure to do the following:

• Note if the test must be taken at the same time as class is held, or if the student has a range of days and/or times to take the test.
• Note if the student is allowed certain materials (for example, if you’re allowing open notes for the whole class.)
• You can fill this out WITHOUT adding an exam.  To make your life easier, we recommend filling this out at the beginning of the semester.  Then all you need to do is upload the quiz or exam when ready — saving you much time!

3. At least 48 hours before your exam date, upload the exam IN AN ACCESSIBLE FORMAT (plus the Scantron or Akindi form, if applicable) to AIM again, AT LEAST 48 HOURS PRIOR TO THE TEST DATE AND TIME. Failure to upload tests within this time frame will result in the student not being able to take the test at that time.  We ask for 48 hours to give us 24 hours to test software accommodations and give us a buffer of 24 hours to ask you to resubmit the test if it isn’t in an accessible format. 

4. Completed exams are scanned and sent back to the instructor within 48 business hours through AIM.

Helpful Hints:

• Testing Services does not have Scantrons/Akindi forms on hand at our facilities – those must be uploaded into AIM with the test. If not uploaded, the student will circle answers on the test,  The exam will be uploaded for you to hand grade. 
• You do not need to wait for a student to request a testing time —  you can upload a test for each section and AIM will automatically link the student’s request to your entry. 
• DO NOT BRING EXAMS TO TESTING SERVICES. All exams are to be sent through AIM at least 48 hours in advance. Paper copies will not be accepted.
•  There are no more drop boxes or couriers – everything will be done through AIM.
• Accommodated Testing has moved!  All students go to North Clow 205
• If you are having trouble with AIM, please call 920-424-0073 or email accommodatedtesting@uwosh.edu.
• If plans change, the student can cancel their appointment at any time and you will be notified through AIM. 
• If the student needs to change their scheduled time, they should email the instructor and cc accommodatedtesting@uwosh.edu, asking the professor if it is permissible to change the date and/or time.  If and when you approve it, Accommodated Testing staff will make the necessary changes.
