PURPOSE

Northeast State Community College Testing Services can accommodate any student who is unable to test in the classroom because of an accident, illness, or other excused absence from class. Students must receive instructor permission before scheduling a test date.

The Testing Center staff is available to proctor paper-based and computer-based tests. However, the Testing Center cannot:

1. Accommodate entire classes except for emergency situations and only with approval fromTesting Services.

2. Proctor tests for students who wish to raise a grade.

3. Retain blank tests on file.

4. Maintain passwords for unassigned tests because each test must be assigned to a student.

Testing times will be limited to the course time block (no untimed tests or extended time).

Students who qualify for extended times should test in the Coordinator of Access Services.
