# Accommodations

> Per-student overrides — like camera exemption and adjusted sensitivity — for students who need different proctoring conditions. Currently in beta.

<Note>
  **Accommodations is in beta.** It's on the roadmap and still being finished. **Beta users get access first**, with a wider rollout to follow. The overview below explains what it's for; exact screens and steps will be documented as the feature leaves beta.
</Note>

An **accommodation** is a per-student override that lets Proctorly monitor a specific student differently from the rest of the class. Accommodations are keyed to a student's **email address**, so they apply when that student joins your test.

## What an accommodation can change

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Camera exempt" icon="camera-off">
    Lets a student take the exam without the webcam requirement — for example, a student who can't use a camera.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Sensitivity" icon="sliders">
    Adjusts how sensitive monitoring is for that student, so expected behavior isn't over-flagged.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Notes" icon="notebook-pen">
    A place to record why the accommodation exists, for your own reference.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## When you'd use one

Accommodations are the right tool when **one** student needs different conditions than the class — for instance, a documented need to be exempt from the webcam, or adjusted sensitivity for a student who legitimately moves or makes noise more than average. To change monitoring for the **whole** test instead, use [Configuring monitoring](/teachers/configuring-monitoring).

  **Want early access?** Accommodations rolls out to beta users first. If you need it for an upcoming exam, ask the Proctorly team about joining the beta.
