Typing exams instead of writing?

happydayz182 · 2013-02-01 21:17:41

Is there any facility in place where a student can type essay heavy exams instead of writing? I can type much faster with clearer thought while doing so but I presume it provides to much of an advantage!

I know it's available through Disability Services, but I don't think it's open to the general student body.

This is correct, it's only available to students with a disability.

you need a diagnosis of dyslexia (or similar) from an education psychologist.
