Test Administration
Testing services are available to students with ADA Accommodations. All students are responsible for scheduling their own testing appointments at least 48 hours in advance, if not earlier. To schedule a test/exam, please stop by in person or contact Kokua Ike at [email protected] or by (808) 739-8305. Students are responsible for notifying their instructors of their testing appointments.
ADA Accommodations
Chaminade University of Honolulu offers accommodations for all actively enrolled students with disabilities in compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, and the ADA Amendments Act (2008).
Students are responsible for contacting Kokua Ike: Center for Student Learning to schedule an appointment. Verification of their disability will be requested through appropriate documentation and once received it will take up to approximately 2–3 weeks to review them. Appropriate paperwork will be completed by the student before notification will be sent out to their instructors. Accommodation paperwork will not be automatically sent out to instructors each semester, as the student is responsible to notify Kokua Ike via email at [email protected] each semester if changes or notifications are needed.
Study Space
Looking for a comfortable air conditioned space to study? Kokua Ike is available to you Monday–Friday from 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Come and try out our whiteboard tables! We provide a unique atmosphere to study independently or collaborate with others.
