Out-of-Class Testing Policies and Procedures

In order to minimize possible misunderstandings or confusion, the following policies and procedures have been established for our students and clients. Should you have a question or concern, please contact one of our testing centers.

1. Appointments for out-of-class testing must be made no later than two business days in advance. A testing appointment may be scheduled in person, by telephone, or by email. Students should schedule their exam at the same testing time or in the same testing window available to their classmates. Only a student’s instructor may authorize an exception to this rule.
2. Test takers are expected to arrive promptly at their scheduled testing time. Test takers should telephone in advance if they anticipate arriving late for their appointment. The testing centers are open for out-of-class testing Monday-Thursday 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and on Friday 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. All testing must be completed 15 minutes prior to closing.
3. Students are required to turn in their testing materials when their testing time has elapsed.
4. The testing centers staff will assign each test taker a room and work station.
5. Test takers may only be granted use of the testing time and materials authorized by their instructor in writing. The testing centers staff may not approve use of unauthorized books, notes, calculators, equipment, or additional time. Staff reserves the right to inspect any testing materials or equipment that have been granted to test takers by their instructor or by the ACCESS Office.
6. No food, drink, cell phones, smart watches, or other electronic devices are permitted in the Testing Centers’ testing rooms.
7. No outerwear is allowed. Test takers are required to store hats, gloves, jackets, and coats outside the testing area. (Provisions will be made for religious dress.)
8. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the following:
   1. Test takers giving or receiving test questions or answers
   2. Using unauthorized materials or equipment
   3. Plagiarizing
9. The testing centers’ managers will report instances of academic dishonestly to a test taker’s instructor and other College authorities, who will determine appropriate consequences.

The College’s testing centers employ video monitoring and personal observation to ensure the integrity of the testing process.
