Steps for submitting exam request
As soon as you know that you will need to use the testing center for proctoring, follow your class syllabus’s scheduled test dates to submit all exam/quiz requests for the term.
- Log in to the Online System and select Alternative Testing under the Accommodations heading on the left side of the screen.
- If your instructor has filled out an alternative testing agreement, select your class from the drop-down list under the Schedule An Exam heading. Select the Schedule an Exam button.
- If your course is not listed, let AEDR know as soon as possible. AEDR will work with your instructor to complete the agreement.
- Select your exam from the available dates (these are the class exam dates, which may differ from your scheduling dates). Specify the date, time, campus location, and accommodations for your exam.
- Select Add Exam Request to complete your request. Repeat this process to schedule all exams for the term.
- If your exam doesn’t fit within Testing Center hours/locations, select Extended Hours and add the location to the additional note field when scheduling.
- Testing Center staff will send you an email confirming your exam after they review and approve your request. To make changes to an existing exam request, view the request under Upcoming Exams Scheduled.
Other exam options
Sometimes, your instructor can help with testing accommodations without using the Testing Center. Talk to your instructor about your needs before scheduling. If your instructor is handling the exams or if the exams are not proctored, you may not need the Testing Center, and you won’t have to submit a scheduling request.
Late exam requests
The Testing Center needs at least 3 days to schedule your exam. The Testing Center staff will try to schedule late requests but cannot guarantee availability.
