    I just emailed Disability Services about students who have extended time on exams. They have counseled these students to connect with individual faculty. As Disability Services will not be offering tests directly to the students during this time.

    Faculty can extend the amount of time available for a test in Canvas on a per student basis.

    Hope that helps.

    Val Coit in SCSE put together a compilation of the offers being made by various internet service providers. She is planning on updating it as more information comes in:
