Coming Spring Semester 2026 at the Werth Testing Center at SSD – Register Blast!
Register Blast will make the entire exam process easier and more convenient for instructors and students alike. Step-by-step tutorials are currently being prepared. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek into what Register Blast will mean for you:
Instructors
- Register Blast integrates with Canvas
- Students will schedule their own exams within parameters set by their instructors
- Instructors can copy and edit other exam reservations they have submitted instead of having to create a completely new exam reservation each time
- Instructors will be automatically notified by the system if any actions are required on their part regarding a student’s exam accommodation (ex. submission of a large print exam)
- Instructors are able to upload exams and download completed exams entirely from the instructor portal in Register Blast
Students
- Register Blast integrates with Canvas
- Students schedule the days and times of their own exams, following the date and time windows set by their instructors
- Students select which exam they are scheduling, reducing some of the confusion that can occasionally occur about what exam they are scheduled to take at what day and time
- Students can easily modify and cancel their reservation as needed
- Students can access their exam reservation history
Accommodations and Access
Through our iterative interactive process, we work with students to determine accommodations tailored to their individual needs.
Accessible Information Management (AIM)
AIM is SSD's online portal for students and instructors to see and manage accommodations related information.
Academic Services
In addition to individualized accommodations, SSD provides academic support through academic coaching, test accommodations, a peer mentoring program, and more.
