Examination Procedures

ASC Policy for Finals

Due to limited testing facilities, only those students who have documents on file with the ASC that specifically dictate a need for testing accommodations will be permitted to sit for finals at the Academic Support Center. Make-up finals or finals taken before the date they are to be given for students who do not have a documented need for testing accommodations will not be scheduled at the ASC during finals week.

For Students Receiving Accommodations through Disability Services

If a student receives accommodations such that it is necessary for the student to complete assessments (quizzes, tests, and exams) at the Academic Support Center, the student assumes the following responsibilities. Similarly, if a student must make up an assessment due to extenuating circumstances (illness or excused absence), the student must also assume the following responsibilities.

When the student is notified of the time/date of the assessment to be given in the classroom AND the student chooses to utilize accommodations, it is the student's responsibility to speak with the instructor well before the date of the assessment. The student should remind the instructor of the accommodation or make-up situation, and both the instructor and the student should come to an agreement as to the time and date for the student to take the assessment at the Academic Support Center.

For Student Athletes Participaiting in Varsity Athletics

Due to the demands placed upon students participating in varsity athletics, if a student must make up an assessment, the student must also assume the following responsibilities. When the student is notified of the time/date of the assessment to be given in the classroom AND the student is aware of prior obligations that conflict with the assessment, it is the student's responsibility to speak with the instructor well before the date of the assessment. The student should provide documentation regarding the expected absence, and both the instructor and the student should come to an agreement as to the time and date for the student to take the assessment at the Academic Support Center.

For Students with Verified Documentated Excused Absences approved by the Academic Support Center

The student must provide documentation to the Academic Support Center to receive approval for a make-up assessment at the Academic Support Center. Once documentation is approved the student and the instructor should come to an agreement as to the time and date for the student to take the assessment at the Academic Support Center

Examination Procedures for All Students at the Academic Support Center

Once the student and professor have discussed the appropriate date and time for the assessment, the student must contact Marge Richardson at the Academic Support Center at least 48 hours (two days) prior to the desired date for the assessment. For students whose accommodations explicitly designate the need for a reader or scribe, appointments for assessments should be scheduled at least 72 hours (three days) prior to the assessment.

If Marge is unavailable, students may contact Michael Sanchez at the Academic Support Center to schedule. Assessments are scheduled between 8AM and 12PM, and between 1PM and 5PM, Monday through Friday. All assessments must be completed by 5PM. Appointments are required for all assessments; walk-ins will not be accepted.

The student must arrive on time on the date that the assessment is scheduled. A student may not reschedule the assessment without approval of the instructor. The student must bring all necessary materials allowed for the assessment (pencil, pen, calculator, etc.) and be prepared to begin the assessment at the appointed time.

The student is not permitted to have any recording or communication devices (laptops, phones, cameras, etc.) in the testing areas. Students who are found to have these devices with them during the assessment will not be permitted to complete the assessment, and the assessment will be turned over to the instructor of record for disciplinary action.

Students are expected to abide by the Academic Honesty Policy in the use of services at the Academic Support Center.
