Academic Testing Services
If you need to make up a test, or need to take a test for a Distance Learning course, the Learning Center is set up to accommodate you. Though all make-up testing is at the discretion of your instructor, the administering of the test is handled by the Learning Center.When you come to the Learning Center to take a test, be sure to have the following items/information with you:
- Driver's license
- Writing utensil, calculator, or any other needed items
- Course name and number (ENG 111)
- Instructor's name
It is important to remember to refrain from eating or drinking in the testing area, as the rustling of food and beverage items might disturb other students. Once you begin a test, you must finish it in one sitting unless otherwise specified by the instructor. Students are not permitted to begin a test and finish at another time, so be sure to plan your time wisely around your commitments and Learning Center hours.
If you have special needs regarding testing accommodations, be sure to talk with your instructor. Students with disabilities are encouraged to meet with the Special Services/ Testing/ADA coordinator to make needed arrangements, located in the Counseling Center on the first floor of Allman.
