Testing Center Policies and Procedures |
This is a quick overview of our policies and procedures.
For more information, please read the
Policies and Procedures Handbook from our Handbooks page.
Test Scheduling
In order to administer your test at the Testing Center, you must schedule it with us as early as possible. In order to schedule your test, you may contact our office at 496-1207. We recommend you schedule your tests early in the semester, since we may require you to change closing dates or time or even turn you down when space is limited.
To schedule, you will need:
- Instructor's name and phone number.
- Section numbers that will take your test.
(If section Numbers are wrong your students will not be able to take your test.)- Approximate number of students taking the test.
- Type of test being administered (Scored, Non-Scored, or a Combination of both).
- Test dates (including late takes if applicable).
Special Instructions for Final Exams
Scheduling for final exams is done by approval through the Dean of your College. Those class lists are turned into the Academic Vice Presidents office for final approval and they are forwarded from there to the Testing Center for scheduling. The Testing Center will contact you to let you know when your test is scheduled to take place.
- All finals tests, or at least your SCOUT Information Sheet and key if applicable, must be delivered to the Testing Center two weeks before the first day your test opens.
- Please provide your test in digital format so the Testing Center can print your test on demand (POD).
Test Delivery
Once your test has been scheduled, you will need to deliver it to our office before 12:00 noon one business day before it is scheduled to start. If your test is not in by 12:00 noon, it may not be available to your students until after noon the following business day. Any test delivered after 3:45 p.m. without our knowing ahead of time will not open the following day. When you come to our office, please be sure to provide a S.C.O.U.T Test Information Sheet for each test you are delivering.
For finals, because of the high volumn of tests, we request that your tests, or at least your information sheet and key, be delivered to the Testing Center two weeks before the first day of finals.
Test Pick-up
Administered tests are available for pick-up at our office after 9:00 A.M. the business day following the test deadline.
Tests left in the Testing Center for more than one week will be destroyed. We don't have enough room to store tests.
Batch Test Scoring
We are able to score your objective (multiple choice) tests here at the Testing Center. Simply bring the answer sheets (provided by the Testing Center) along with the test key and we'll have them scored as soon as we can, usually while you wait for about 5 to 10 minutes. These scores can be recorded on the database and reported the same as a test given in the Testing Center.
