Pearson imports accommodations data into Pearson Access, and maintains and manages that data as part of the periodic data import. The accoms.csv file contains this data for students that require specific accommodations during an online or paper test.

Prerequisites

Updated data should have previously been loaded into your student management system (SMS), as this data is exported from the SMS to complete the steps for roster import. The SMS must contain the most current accommodations data.

If you encounter any issues during a local data import, see Access Data Import/Export List Files and Resolve Import Errors.
