Testing Procedure

Information for Testers

Reminder: Notify the professor of your accommodations using the Faculty Notification Letter (FNL). This should be done seven days prior to requesting a testing appointment.

Scheduling the exam: Requests to test in the SARC must be made at least (7) business day prior to exam. The SARC processes requests Monday-Friday from 8:00am-4:30pm excluding evenings, weekends and University recognized holidays. The SARC advises that students wishing to test outside of these parameters make alternative arrangements with their Professor.

Additionally, students should request the same date and time scheduled for the class, unless (1) an extended time accommodation would interfere with their class schedule, (2) the scheduled class time is outside of the SARC's office hours, or (3) explicit permission is given by the Instructor and/or the SARC.

Testing Window: Accommodated testing is conducted during University operating hours between 8:00am-4:30pm. We recommend that any test expected to go beyond 4:30pm be scheduled at a different date and/or time in the SARC or the Professor can arrange for the student to take the test with the accommodations in an alternative location.

At the time of the exam: The student will come to DSU 1074. Students must be on time and bring with them the necessary materials (e.g. scantron, blue book, writing utensil, calculator).

During the exam: Cell phones, electronic devices, and other personal and/or unapproved items are not allowed in the testing area. To ensure academic integrity, the possession of any item other than those approved by the instructor will result in the termination of the exam.

About Testing Materials: All instructions, content, and scoring, as well as any other matters related to the exam, must be discussed with your faculty. Please, seek clarification about the exam materials outside your scheduled testing appointment (before the appointment or after the completion of the exam).
