Scheduling Deadlines

We highly recommend taking the time to review all of your courses’ syllabi first and foremost. There are 3 simple steps to getting ready to use the testing center.

Once you have…

1. Set your schedule
2. Met with your instructors to discuss your accommodation options (note: some instructors can provide accommodations and therefore render the need for the testing center unnecessary)
3. Verified that you will need access to the testing center…

Then all of your exams need to be scheduled.

Typically, scheduling is accomplished in the first week of semester, which provides you with two major benefits: Availability of the testing center and peace of mind!

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR EACH SEMESTER

• Please schedule all your exams at the beginning of each semester so that you don’t miss the scheduling deadline and risk taking an exam without accommodations.
• Provide at least 5 business days (1 full week) advance notice when scheduling.
• Schedule all exams at the same time/date as the rest of the class.
• If scheduling at a different time than your class, you must obtain prior approval from your instructor.

DEADLINES

You will need to have your exams scheduled 5 business days (1 week) before your exam is scheduled to take place. The deadline for final exams is 14 business days (3 weeks) before finals begin.
During summer terms, when the volume of exams is lower, the deadline for scheduling exams is 2 business days. and 1 week for finals/end of semester exams.

See Important Dates & Deadlines for specific semester deadlines.

You will need to schedule all exams to be taken at the same time/date as the rest of your class. If you schedule an exam at a different time than the class, you will need to obtain prior approval from your instructor and send that approval to our office at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Any changes to scheduled exams (dates/times) can be submitted through your student portal and will need to be completed at least 5 business days (1 week) before the new date of the exam.

If you miss a scheduling deadline, and the course instructor is unable to accommodate your needs, you may have to take the exam without accommodation. Exceptions to testing center deadlines may be approved on a case-by-case basis.

THINGS TO REMEMBER…

• You should schedule exams with the testing center ONLY if your exam requires a proctor AND your professor is unable to provide the necessary exam accommodations.
• You will only be able to schedule exams with the testing center in a manner that is consistent with the course requirements; meaning the criteria have to match the same guidelines as your peers. Special requests are subject to approval by the instructor and cannot be granted by the testing center.
