Test Proctoring
Test proctoring will be available on a limited basis for the use of instructors in face-to-face courses who are unable to provide the approved testing accommodations for tests which have a duration of more than 30 minutes (45 minutes with 50% extended time). ODR is unable to proctor online tests which take place outside of the classroom and are not proctored by faculty.
Students will be continuously monitored and only allowed to leave the testing environment if instructors have indicated that unescorted restroom breaks are permitted.
Since some individuals have reactions to perfumes and fragrances found in beauty and personal hygiene products, ODR asks that our visitors refrain from wearing perfume, cologne, and other fragrances and use unscented personal care products when possible in order to promote a fragrance-free environment.
Scheduling Tests in ODR
To use ODR test proctoring, students must make a test request via the ODR online module five (5) business days prior. Students may need to request times outside of the class time to ensure proctoring space.
Proctoring Times
- Monday – Thursday: 8:30 am, 10:45 am, 1:00 pm, 3:15 pm
- Friday: 8:30 am, 10:45 am, 1:00 pm
Utilizing ODR test proctoring indicates that both the student and the instructor:
- have reviewed and discussed the student’s Accommodation Plan from ODR;
- understand and agree to comply with these test proctoring policies and procedures as well as the University’s Academic Integrity Code.
Once a student submits a test request, instructors will receive an email notification requiring confirmation of test details (test date/time, materials allowed, etc.) via the ODR online module in order for ODR to schedule the test.
Students will receive an email with specific instructions for procedures to follow upon arrival to ODR.
Non-Standard Test Request
Students should follow established time frames regarding requesting tests to ensure ODR can schedule the test. A Non-Standard Request may be submitted for extenuating circumstances such as less than a week's notice of the test, unexpected disability-related event, or for a make-up test. Submission of this request does not guarantee the test can be scheduled in ODR. The test proctoring schedule, proctor availability, timeliness of your request, extenuating factors, and other factors as applicable will be considered when reviewing these requests.
Students and instructors will only be contacted with next steps should ODR be able to schedule the test at the requested date/time.
Late Arrivals
Students are expected to contact ODR if they will be late. Students must arrive at ODR no later than 15 minutes past their start time. Students who are late beyond 15 minutes are guaranteed they will be able to take their tests.
Materials/Technology in ODR
Calculators and scantrons are available during testing. For most computer tests, students need to bring their own personal computers if needed for an accommodation or particular test. Instructors should consult with ODR if specific computer programs or software are needed.
Only the test and materials indicated by the instructor are allowed in the testing environment. Personal belongings, including book bags and electronic devices, will be placed in cubbies during test administration.
Integrity Violations
Students who are suspected of a potential violation of the Academic Integrity Code will not be able to continue taking that test. All allegations are immediately reported to the instructor and the Office of Student Conduct.
