Test
Taking Accommodations - Proctoring Policy
A test proctor is a trained student facilitator who is
qualified and paid to proctor tests/exams for the Office of Disability Services.
A proctor is responsible for the test/exam and its administration; and
may be responsible for reading or scribing depending on the individual needs of
the person being tested.
Since the proctor is responsible for the
test/exam, the test/exam will always be in the presence of the proctor or
Disability Services personnel from the time it is picked up to the time it is
delivered to the instructor.
Therefore, a proctor will be in the room with a student taking a test/exam.
There is no exception to this policy (unless telecommunication devices
are used in the future).
Students who are taking tests/exams in the
Disability Services office will have a proctor present in the room with them,
just as students who take tests/exams in various locations throughout campus
have proctors in the room. It is
imperative that the test/exam be monitored in all test-taking locations in order
to guarantee protection of the test/exam.
Students will leave all personal belongings
(backpacks, book-bags, purses, cell phones, etc.) with the proctor.
Only a pen/pencil, test form and answer sheet(s) will be allowed with the
student, unless other items are specified by the professor/instructor in
writing/email.
Students are to use the restroom prior to the beginning of
the exam and should not use the restroom during test-taking time.
Students are to turn in their test/exam to the
proctor at the designated time and are not to request additional time.
Proctors are required to report any deviation from this
policy as well as students cheating on a test/exam.
If a student is in violation of this policy, a report will be filed with
the professor/instructor and the Office of Disability Services.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and
contributes to the success of our test accommodations service to students
through the Office of Disability Services.
