The following are reminders for students using test proctoring at the SSSC:

• Students may not have any recording or communication devices in the testing area. Items such as phones, laptops, cameras, calculators, and other devices capable of sending, storing, and/or receiving messages should be turned off and left at the front desk. If a calculator is required for a test, the Testing Center will provide one.
• Students must be prepared to begin at the scheduled time and may not have any items or material that are not specified by the instructor.
• Students are not permitted to remove any materials from the testing site. All scratch paper and notes allowed by the instructor must be turned in with the assessment at the time of completion.
• Students found with any devices or materials not specified by the instructor will not be permitted to complete the assessment, and the assessment and additional evidence will be turned over to the instructor of record for disciplinary action.

• When a test is announced, the student speaks with the instructor about using SSSC services for test proctoring, and both agree upon a date and time for the test.
• The student makes an appointment as close to the in-time test time as possible. Appointments can be made online, by email at asctesting@fit.edu, or in person.
• The student makes the testing appointment two business days (48 hours) in advance of the assessment. If a student requires the use of a scribe or reader, the appointment must be made three business days (72 hours) in advance.
• The student should arrive at least five minutes before the start time to check in and ensure the assessment is on file. Students who arrive late may not be allowed to begin the test without instructor permission.

• The instructor responds to email requests from the SSSC to verify the date and time proposed for the testing appointment.
• The instructor may deny a testing appointment request if the schedule time is not on the date and time agreed upon with the student or if the student has not spoken with the instructor prior to setting the testing appointment.
• After approving the testing appointment, the instructor specifies any allowed materials for the test.
• The instructor or an approved delegate delivers the test to the SSSC in advance of the student's testing appointment.
• The instructor has the option to place an order for the test at the Florida Tech Copy Center. A 24-hour notice must be given. The Copy Center will deliver test copies to the SSSC, or the instructor may pick them up.

When the student is notified of the date and time of the test to be given in the classroom and the student chooses to utilize accommodations, the student has the responsibility to speak with the instructor well before the date fo the test. The student should remind the instructor of the accommodation or make-up situation, and both the instructor and the student should agree to the time and date for the student to take the test at the Student Success and Support Center (SSSC).

Once the student and professor have discussed the appropriate date and time for the assessment, the student must make a testing appointment online at least two days (48 hours) prior to the desired date for the test. For students whose accommodations explicitly designate the need for a reader or scribe, test appointments should be scheduled at least three days (72 hours) prior to the assessment.

Assessments in the SSSC can be scheduled for the following times:

 All assessments must be completed by 6 p.m on Monday - Thursday and by 5 p.m. on Friday.

The student must arrive on time on the date that the test is scheduled and may not reschedule 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 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 SSSC.

All students must adhere to the university’s Academic Honesty Policy during use of the SSSC.  Academic dishonesty is not tolerated. Any breach of the academic honesty policies will be reported to the course professors and department.

The following are examples of issues that will be reported and cause for future denial of the SSSC services:

• Using electronic devices during exams (when not expressly approved by the professor or department)
• Making copies of exams (written or electronic versions)
• Sharing test questions or answers from an exam with another student
• Letting another student copy a solution to a homework problem, exam, or lab
• Taking an exam for another student
• Assisting in any act of academic dishonesty of another student
