Policies and Procedures for the Academic Success Testing Center

1. The Academic Success Center can only proctor tests for students with accommodations from the Office of Academic Access.
2. The student must register for all tests, at least 24 hours in advance of the test.
3. The ASC testing coordinator will receive a notification that the student plans to test in the ASC and will notify the professor.
4. Prior to the test time, the professor will send (electronically to academicsuccess@emu.edu) or deliver to the ASC any materials the student will need for testing. 
5. Students are expected to schedule/take their test at the same time as the test is being offered in class, unless they have a valid schedule conflict. They will come to the ASC on the date/time of the test instead of going to class. 
6. During the test, professors should be reachable by phone or email in case students have questions while testing.
7. The ASC will return paper tests to the professor in a timely manner after the test has been completed.
8. Students must arrive in the testing center prepared to take the test at the scheduled time. Late arrival results in lost accommodation time. Students arriving 10 minutes past their scheduled time must request permission from their professor to take the exam. The professor is expected to communicate directly with the testing center regarding alternate scheduling. 
9. All personal items (cell phones, books, watches, headphones, hats etc.) will be left outside the testing room. 
10. In the event of academic misconduct during an exam, the test will be halted immediately, the professor notified, and the university's academic accountability policy will be applied. 
11. Use the restroom, if necessary, before beginning your test.  With the exception of using the restroom, once a student leaves the testing area, the student is not allowed to re-enter.
12. The proctor cannot answer questions about the content of the test/exam. In some circumstances, the professor may be contacted by phone with questions.
13. Testing sessions are under video surveillance at all times and may be recorded. Any exams taken on a computer are also monitored and may be recorded.
14. Any changes or requests for exceptions must be accompanied by professor's written approval.
15. To request a change to the time of a final exam, the student must forward an approved copy of the Request to Take a Final Exam Out of Schedule to the ASC one week in advance of the requested time change.
