Testing Center Procedures

    Mission
    The mission of the Office of Accessibility (OA) Testing Center is to provide examinations to students registered with SHU in a professional, secure and accessible environment that supports academic success.    The OA Testing Center seeks to:
    • Facilitate paper and computer based testing for SHU students registered the Office of Accessibility;
    • Provide a testing space that promotes a positive testing experience for students through a clean, comfortable, quiet and user-friendly environment;
    • Recruit and retain support staff and proctors for active monitoring of testing;
    • Collaborate with faculty and staff, other institutions of higher education, and the National College Testing Association (NCTA) to stay up to date on the most recent changes and Best Practices in testing and change our procedures accordingly.
    Hours of Operations
    Monday – Friday:  8:15 AM – 5:00 PM
    Or by Appointment. (If your exam falls outside of these hours, please contact OA directly at accessibility@sienaheights.edu)




















    ​

    Faculty/Staff Who choose to schedule their own tests (rather than have student schedule):

    ​Test proctoring is available on Adrian's SHU campus, as a service to faculty. You are welcome to use the Testing Center to proctor exams for students who have approved accommodations through the Office of Accessibility (OA). As an alternative to using Testing Center services, you may choose to proctor your own exams. Please ensure you can provide the requested accommodations before proctoring exams. 

    Faculty using testing services are requested to submit exam requests at least five days in advance. When an exam request is received and scheduled by the Testing Center, you will receive an email confirmation. This confirmation will include exam scheduling detail and exam delivery/upload instructions for those that desire the electronic delivery option.

    Faculty are advised to schedule exams within the same time-frame that the exam is being given in class, unless an alternate agreement is made.  If utilizing Testing Center accommodations, please make sure that your test is delivered one of the following ways:
    • by hand to the Office of Accessibility (SHH 302C--drop box for when Coordinator is not in office)
    • by email (Scan or attach a copy of your test and it can be printed or administered online)
    • ​through inter-office mail to Cody Mathis, SHH 302C
    • Submitted through the link below

    **Students are not allowed to deliver their own tests**

    ​Students Scheduling an Exam (students are typically responsible for scheduling their tests in cooperation with their instructors)
    Students must have a current Letter of Accommodation from the OA to schedule an exam with the Testing Center.
    • Regular exam requests are scheduled to the right, at least five days before the date of regular exams and ten days prior to final exams with preference being given on a first-come, first-serve basis, based on available slots. Students are encouraged to schedule the entire semester in advance.
    • Late exam requests are made if the request is in less than five days before the exam date. Students making last-minute test requests should be prepared to take the exam with their class unless notified by the OA Testing Center that the late request has been approved.
    Note: Students are expected to take the exam at the same time as the class. If an alternative time is needed, students must first talk to and receive approval from their professor prior to scheduling an exam.

    ​
    Cell phone, smart watches, backpacks and other personal belongings are not permitted in the testing areas.
