Exam Scheduling Deadlines

Final Exams must be scheduled one week (7 days) before the Monday beginning the final exam week. Semester exams, make-up exams, and quizzes must be scheduled 3 business days in advance. We do not accept exam requests made within 24 hours of a request. 

Class time

Exams will be administered as close to the class test date/time as possible with some flexibility due to scheduling conflicts or accommodation requirements.

Arrive on time

You are expected to arrive at the designated testing time.  Arriving 15 minutes or later may require the test to be rescheduled. THE ATC WILL NOT RE-SCHEDULE AN EXAM WITHOUT PROFESSOR'S WRITTEN APPROVAL.

Professors sending exams

Professors will send exams to the SAR Center at least 1 business day prior to the exam date to allow for format adjustments, enlarging font, or use of adaptive equipment to stay in compliance with ADA-supported accommodations. If exams are not received in time to efficiently provide the accommodation, the SAR Center will reschedule the exam as needed to remain in compliance.

electronic copy

Professors can upload exams using the link provided in the Testing Agreement. A link to the Testing Agreement appears in the Faculty Notification Letter (FNL) for each student. Professors should provide an electronic copy of their exam in a Word document (.doc) in case it needs any necessary adjustments for accommodation purposes.

Final exams

Final Exams must be scheduled one week (7 days) before the Monday beginning the final exam week.
