Students MUST register with the Access Office for access to accommodations and assistive technologies. The Access Office cannot reach out to students who may need such accommodations. It is the responsibility of the student to register.
If an instructor does not have the resources to provide the arrangements needed to make an exam accessible, arrangements may be made to have exams proctored in the Access Office, not to be confused with the Office of Testing. To utilize this service, you must be signed up with the Access Office and you must have requested a Faculty Letter for the course for which you have the exam.
When scheduling your exam, please remember that our office is open Monday through Thursday from 8am to 5:30pm and Friday from 8am to 3pm. Exams should be scheduled at the regular class time. If an exam time conflicts with another class or falls outside of normal business hours, the student and Instructor should discuss whether or not an alternate exam time will alleviate the conflict. If no alternative exam time is possible, the Access Office will make arrangements to proctor outside of normal business hours.
Testing time will begin at the start of the scheduled time for an exam. Students are encouraged to arrive 10 minutes early to check in and get ready. If a student arrives late, they will lose that testing time as they would in the classroom setting. If a student cannot make the scheduled exam time for any reason, the Access Office will need instructor permission to reschedule any make-up exam.
All Exams in the Access Office are proctored with the use of cameras. Cameras are used in place of in room proctors. They do not record or have audio.
Exams should be requested at least two (2) business days before the exam date. Students may also submit an exam request up to one (1) week before their scheduled exam. Later requests may not be possible to obtain in time for the requested exam date.
