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

  • Students are responsible for scheduling their own appointment with the AAC to take a make-up exam. Appointments must be made in advance.
  • Students are also responsible for communicating directly with their faculty members to request that the exam be delivered to the AAC.
  • Please bring a valid photo ID with you on the day of your exam.
  • Faculty will drop off the exam in advance and will pick it up from the AAC after you have completed it.

Information for Faculty

  • The AAC is available to assist individual students who have a legitimate reason for taking a make-up exam.
  • We are unable to administer exams for an entire class or group, including online courses.
  • All exams must be dropped off and picked up at the AAC.
  • Please complete the Testing Exam Form and attach the exam. Students should be reminded that it is their responsibility to schedule an appointment with Testing Services. The Testing Exam Form must include the student’s name, exam instructions, deadline to complete the exam, and time limit for the exam. If the student’s name is missing, we cannot administer the exam. Additionally, exams cannot be administered after the stated deadline unless prior approval is provided by the faculty member via written note or phone call.

For Security Reasons

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