How to Make Arrangements
Students and instructors may make any arrangements for testing accommodations that are fair to the student and to the class requirements.
Most students and professors agree to have accommodated tests administered by the Learning Center.
Students are expected to schedule an appointment to take the test as soon as the test is announced, or at least two days in advance. Students may do this in person at the Learning Center (North Quad, Room 350) or by calling 765-285-3779.
Instructions for Exams at the Learning Center
Below are the instructions to follow when taking exams at the Learning Center:
- Students, not faculty, should schedule their exams.
- Students should schedule the exam at least two days ahead of the exam date by calling 285-3779 or stopping by North Quad, room 350.
- Remind the professor once before each test to send the exam to North Quad, room 350.
