Guidelines for Alternative Testing

• A student must be registered with Disability Services for the semester for which they are seeking testing accommodations (and must renew each semester).
• All tests, exams, quizzes etc. must be scheduled at least 72 hours in advance. 
• The student and instructor should agree upon the date and/or time of exam.  Where possible the student is expected to schedule during class time, and or during the office hours of instructor.  The instructor must approve any subsequent changes to the schedule.

• Tests must be started and completed in the scheduled time frame, i.e. a student may not stop working on an exam and return at a later time and/or day to complete the remaining unfinished exam without the instructor’s written approval.
• A student must bring all materials necessary for the exam as allowed by the instructor. 
• Students are expected to be on time for their scheduled exam. If the student arrives late the office might not be able to accommodate. 

Student:  Please review your syllabi and discuss dates and times for ALL exams for the semester with your Instructors. It is a student’s RESPONSIBILITY to work with instructors, complete appropriate documentation and discuss use of academic accommodations.  All tests should be scheduled as early in the semester as possible. Testing appointments are first come, first served and are made by the student once he or she has already requested his or her accommodations and met with the course instructor(s).

Students are not allowed to schedule and take a test on the same day without the permission from our office and in consultation with instructor.

.Our office is not involved when the instructor and the student decide that the test will be administered elsewhere.

How to Use the Proctoring Checklist Form

If you have registered for the current semester there is a short Test Proctoring Request Form, which you will receive from disability services. It is your responsibility to ensure that your instructor completes this document and that it is delivered along with your exam. 

This form must be completed each time you use testing accommodations. 

Your student requesting testing accommodations will present you with a simple proctoring checklist form. Please ensure that this is completed and delivered to our office along with the exam.  Please deliver exam either:

• To Wege Center 103C (locked drop box)
• In electronic format (pdf preferred) along with proctoring instructions to coxsar@aquinas.edu
• Through intercampus mail/mailroom
• Directly drop off at Disability Office
