Testing Accommodations

Below are the policies students who qualify for testing accommodations through Disability Services must follow to utilize their accommodations.

Scheduling:

Test appointments must be scheduled at the same date/time that the class meets. Exceptions are evening classes, back-to-back classes, or with prior permission from the instructor.
Test appointment requests placed after 4 p.m. on Friday for a Monday appointment may be declined. 24 hours' notice (business hours) are required.
To reschedule an appointment, you must first contact your professor and then follow up with Disability Services.
Tests must be started early enough to be finished by 4:45 pm, accounting for accommodations.

Students are responsible for communicating their approved extended time accommodations with their instructor prior to starting an online exam (i.e. Canvas).
In most cases, online exams can be facilitated with the faculty; no need to schedule with the Testing Center.

Arrive at Disability Services (Main Hall 324) on time and with the materials needed for exam (pencils, calculator, scantron, etc.).
No personal belongings are allowed in testing rooms (backpacks, purses, cell phones, smart watches, etc.). A limited number of lockers are available.
Disability Services is not responsible for lost or stolen items from lockers or testing areas.
Hats, sunglasses and oversized jackets or coats must be removed before entering the testing room.

Students are responsible for managing their allotted testing time and exiting when time expires.
Remote proctoring via camera surveillance is monitored continuously in each testing room.
Restroom breaks are not allowed. Exceptions may be made for emergencies and approved accommodations.
Refrain from distracting behavior in the test environment (i.e. talking to self, humming, clicking pens). Distracting behavior will result in being asked to leave the testing room.
