2. If you have any E-Forms that need to be signed, you will see a pop-up detailing the required E-Form Agreements that need to be completed. Click the close button on the pop-up window and go to the “My E-Form Agreements” link to take care of the form(s). You will not be able to make appointments until this is resolved.

   • If you do not see the course listed in the drop-down menu, it means your instructor hasn't completed the testing agreement. Testing Services is just one way your accommodations can be met, and the course not appearing here might indicate that your instructor will provide your accommodations themselves. You should contact them to discuss how your accommodations will be handled in their course.
