Virginia Campus Testing Policy

Procedures for testing:

• If a student requests testing accommodations, that student must provide the Office of Disability Services with documentation of his/her disability.
• Then an Accommodations Notice is sent out to the instructor with the identified accommodations necessary for student success.
• If a student requests testing accommodations, but does not have a documented disability, he or she may speak with his or her instructor to inquire if testing services may be done in the Learning Center with the Office of Disability Services.
• The student will notify the Office of Disability Services at least three days prior to testing to ensure a time slot for testing services can be arranged.
• A one-page request will be sent from the Office of Disability Services stating the students name, date, prescribed time arrangement, and a checklist for faculty to return with the test to identify what can or can not be used along with the test.
• The instructor must deliver the test, along with the one-page request to the Office of Disability Services before the test date (the test may also be dropped of in Lindsay Grott’s mailbox, e-mailed or other arrangements can be set up).
• If an instructor wants the Learning Center Director to proctor a make-up exam for one of their students, they must contact Lindsay Grott to arrange an appointment.
• No students may be allowed to test in the Learning Center unless a Testing Notification has been sent to the instructor by student request, or if an instructor has arranged a testing appointment with the Learning Center Director.
• If a student arrives in the Learning Center on the day of the test or with a test, the test will not be proctored in the Learning Center and the student must return to the classroom.
• If a student fails to show up for a scheduled exam, the Office of Disability Services/Learning Center will return the test to the instructor.
• The student will be responsible for making contact with the instructor to make up any missed exams.
