Faculty Guidelines
- Include faculty name, course abbreviation, course number, time limit, and approved materials on each paper test.
- Deliver sufficient copies of paper tests to Academic Testing prior to the testing date.
- Provide a completed Academic Testing Computer Test Instruction Sheet for each computer test.
- Advise students to carefully review the Student Guidelines section on this page and be prepared to adhere to all policies.
- Deliver tests to Academic Testing personally or send an authorized representative. We cannot accept tests sent via interoffice mail or email.
- End test availability only on Mondays through Thursdays, as Friday and Sunday hours are abbreviated.
- Provide a new computer test instruction sheet each new semester, as they are shredded at the end of each semester.
- Tests will not be given without a computer test instruction sheet or instructions included on the paper exam.
- During finals week, Academic Testing only has capacity to proctor final exams. Please end all regular exams given in Academic Testing by the Thursday before finals week. Make sure that your instruction sheets reflect this deadline and communicate to students.
- Open exams given to entire classes for a minimum of three business days.
- Either pick up your tests in person or authorize someone to pick them up. Authorization must be in writing. Authorization forms are available in Academic Testing. Completed tests will not be returned through interoffice mail.
- Email correspondence to the Academic Testing email address ([email protected]) so that whoever is in the office will receive your message. We will reply all to confirm receipt.
- During periods of high traffic, like finals week, lines can back up quickly, and Academic Testing staff may not be able to answer the phone or respond to emails in a timely manner. If it is imperative that you speak with a staff member about a time-critical matter during these occasions, either visit the office in person or send a messenger to deliver your message.
