Note: In this new version of AIM, testing accommodations are no longer grouped together, if you are approved for more than one, you can choose any combination of your approved testing accommodations for each class. For example, if you're approved for use of a computer for exams, but it does not make sense to use it in a math course, you don't have to select that accommodation for that class.
