CARE provides private, monitored testing rooms to accommodate students with disabilities. These rooms are utilized when faculty are not able to find space for accommodated testing in the department and/or when students need assistive technology or scribing as an accommodation. A testing room can be requested as soon as the exam date is known and at least three business days in advance. The process is initiated by a student completing the request form. Faculty must then review the request and complete their portion of the form. CARE will then finalize the exam date and time. The process and testing policies and procedures are outlined below.
Exams must be scheduled at least three business days in advance.
If you are more than 10 minutes late, you will begin losing testing time.
If you are unable to test at your scheduled time, you must obtain permission from your professor to reschedule and submit another Request to Test in CARE.
If you miss your testing appointment, it will be up to your professor to determine if you can reschedule the test.
Do not assume that you are testing in CARE if you have not received a confirmation of your day and time to test.
