Background
The adjudication process ensures that students who have demonstrated a need for supports within the educational setting have access to those same supports during provincial assessments.
- See the B.C. Graduation Program Policy Guide (PDF) for guidelines regarding Adjudication for the Grades 10, 11 and 12 provincial assessments
- Read Chapter 2: B.C. Graduation Program Handbook of Procedures (PDF) for information on the adjudication process
Request for Special Format Assessment
Complete a Request for Special Format Assessments. Note that a separate form will be required for each session request.
Requests for Special Format Assessments for learners with visual impairments

Guidelines for readers and scribes
The adjudication process provides equity and accessibility to students with diverse abilities/disabilities who qualify for adaptations on graduation assessments.
Decisions to provide non-technological supports (readers and scribes) should be made based on the learning needs, learning styles and special needs of the student.
