Help hints regarding Tests/Exams

Test/Exam Forms

Please fill out the Test/Exam form (also known as a Particular Form) as completely as possible. We are here to invigilate the exam, so the more information we have the better we can make sure we are following your instructions for the test.

Dropping Off Tests

Please make sure to drop e-mail/off/fax the test/ex to Student Accessibility Services three (3) days PRIOR TO the scheduled exam date. Some students who use our office require large printed tests or other alternate formats so receiving the exam in advance is required to ensure the student's materials are ready for them on the test day. If it is a final exam that is being printed by Registrar's Office we will make arrangements to get the test from that office.

Supervision During the Test/Exam

Students will usually write in private rooms within the SAS offices. These rooms have full length windows in the doors so that SAS staff can monitor the student who is writing. Students are not allowed to bring any books, bags, or other materials into the room with them unless the instructor has approved this on the test/exam form. All students will be asked if they have anything in their pockets, and will be asked to leave any materials with the SAS front desk, including any electronic communication devices such as cell phones, pagers, etc.

Questions During the Test

If the student has a question during the test/exam, we will either walk with the student to the classroom where the test is being written or we will ask the student to write down the question and an invigilator will bring the question to you. If the student is writing at a different time from the class, it is helpful if you have a phone number where you can be reached if there are questions. We welcome instructors to stop by the office at anytime during the test/exam to see if there are any questions!

Delivery of Tests/Exams

Unless told otherwise, we will deliver the completed test/exam to your department's general office the following day (except Fridays). This is a service provided by volunteers on campus. If you prefer to pick the exam, please inform the front desk staff and we will keep it on file until a member of your department is able to pick it up. If you require the test/exam to be returned to you quickly, we can send it to you via on-campus courier.

Final Exams

Final exams will be requested from the Registrar's Office when SAS receives a signed Particular Form. If an exam is not being printed by Registrar's Office, we will call instructors to request a copy of the exam.

If you have any other questions or comments, or would like a tour of the Student Accessibility Services office, please call us at (204) 474-6213. Thank you for all your help.
