Before the exam, agree on any special arrangements with the teacher.

Booking an accessible exam room
SEB and paper exams
Booking an accessible exam room for SEB and paper exams is always done through the course’s teacher or the department’s education secretary . Contact your course’s teacher and agree on individual arrangements well in advance of the exam.
