Learning Space Management (LSM) has a focus on learning space excellence with the mandate of stewardship of the University’s classrooms and testing space, encompassing all aspects including the delivery of academic activities through academic scheduling, classroom design, classroom technology, and accommodated testing. This holistic perspective allows each member of the team to work together, share experiences and better understand how their decisions and deliverables impact other team members and results. In this way, we can leverage opportunities and synergies amongst the team as well as with our broader University partners to better serve instructors and students in support of the University’s teaching mission.
Accommodated Testing Services (ATS) provides a service to the University community by coordinating test and exam accommodations for students with documented disabilities who are registered with Accessibility Services. ATS balances accommodations with academic integrity, ensuring that the University meets its commitment to persons with disabilities while maintaining the integrity of the assessment process - all while providing exceptional service and responding to the changing needs of our community in an exceptionally fast-paced environment. ATS provides this service for every faculty on the St. George Campus, and building supportive relationships with our campus partners at every level is a huge part of the work that we do.
