ALTERNATIVE TESTING CONTRACT
Accessibility Resources works with faculty and students to provide an accessible testing
environment for students with disabilities. Accessibility Resources understands the academic
rigors and safety measures that University instructors undertake in preparing and administering
their exams. In an effort to uphold a secure testing environment and manage an efficient
alternative testing system, we have developed the following standards and procedures which we
expect students to adhere to:
All test materials, including calculators, formula sheets, etc., will be checked prior to the
start of the exam to assure that they conform to the faculty’s directions.
Once testing begins, restroom use is discouraged. Students who need to use the restroom
will be escorted and monitored.
Cell phones, smart watches, pagers, student backpacks, hats, bags, audio devices, etc. are
not permitted in the testing room. Cell phones will be collected and left on the testing
envelope at the front desk during testing.
Students who are more than a half-hour late of the scheduled start time will not be
permitted to take the exam without approval of the faculty member.
Students may not converse with others in the testing room.
Students are expected to uphold the integrity of the examination process and are subject
to disciplinary action for academic misconduct if the content of the test is prematurely
shared with others. Second offenses will be reported to Student Affairs Conduct Office.
A security measure for each testing room includes surveillance cameras.
Accessibility Resources staff will dismiss any student observed utilizing any unauthorized
resource or involved in other inappropriate test behavior at any time during an exam. Any
suspected evidence of inappropriate testing behavior will be documented and reported to the
appropriate faculty.
A three day notice for scheduling exams is required to facilitate effective
communication with faculty and ensure timely test delivery.
Tests must be taken on the same day and time the class is testing, unless there is prior
approval by the instructor.
If I am unable to keep my testing appointment, I must call Accessibility Resources
(389-2825) to cancel. The instructor will decide if I am allowed to reschedule the
test.
