Testing Center 

·The testing center is available for registered students with The Center for Access and Success (CAS) who require exam accommodations.

 ·CAS is located in the ground floor of the Liberal Arts Building Room 016. Appointments must be scheduled in person. Students will be given a test cover sheet to provide to their instructor.

 Scheduling Guidelines:

·All exams must be scheduled with CAS at least 5 days in advance of the examination date. If a student does not schedule 5 days in advance, he or she may not be able to test as requested.

·Students are expected to schedule the time(s), date(s) and appropriate allotment of time for each exam with CAS.

 · It is the student’s responsibility to notify professors of this scheduled time by providing professors with the Test Coversheet. The Test Coversheet will indicate the time and date of the student’s scheduled exam and allow the instructor to indicate any special instructions for the exam, the amount of time the class has to complete the test, etc.

 Testing Guidelines:

·Students must be on time for the exam and ready to take the exam at that time.

·If a student arrives late, or does not inform the instructor of the appointment time, he or she may not be able to test.

 ·When canceling an appointment, notify CAS and the instructor immediately. The instructor must give CAS permission for the student to reschedule the exam.

 Instructor Responsibilities:

·Instructors are responsible for delivery of the examinations to CAS.  The exam must be received CAS no later than 24 hours prior to the test appointment. The Test Coversheet should be completed by the instructor and should accompany the delivered exam. You may also electronically send the exam via email to dsouza@umassd.edu. Be sure to provide any special instructions.

·CAS will deliver completed exams to the corresponding departments during normal CAS hours and when the Center has proper staffing to do so. Many instructors prefer to pick-up exams from the Center or send a designee.

 · CAS will make 2 attempts to deliver the exam. At that point, an e-mail will be sent to the professor notifying him/her to pick the exam up in the CAS.
