Make-Up Testing

Faculty may arrange for a student who misses an exam for a legitimate reason to take a make-up test in the Academic Achievement Center’s testing room. A photo ID and an appointment are required to take a test in the AAC.

General Guidelines for Requesting Make-Up Testing Services

Information for Students: 

  • To take a test through our Center, please make an appointment. Your faculty member will have already dropped off the exam. 
  • Please bring a picture ID with you on the day of the test. 
  • Your faculty member will drop off the exam in advance and pick it up from Testing Services after you have completed it.

Information for Faculty:

  • Testing Services is available to assist individual students with a legitimate reason for taking a make-up exam.  
  • We cannot administer exams for an entire class or group, including for online courses.
  • Exams must be dropped off and picked up at Testing Services in the Academic Achievement Center.
  • Please complete the Testing Exam Form and attach the exam. Please remind students to make an appointment with the testing staff.
  • On the form, include:  
        - Student’s name  
        - Exam instructions  
        - Exam deadline

Note: If the student’s name is missing from the form, we cannot administer the exam.  In addition, we are unable to administer exams after the deadline unless the faculty member provides a note or phone call.

For security reasons:

  •  Students cannot drop off exams on behalf of faculty members.  
  •  Completed exams cannot be removed from the testing area by students.
