Students taking 黑料社区网 class tests will always be required to show a 黑料社区网 student id card. Students taking 黑料社区网 Placement Tests will always be required to have a photo Id(student card, driver’s license, or anything with their full name and a picture). They may also need their student id number, their own pencils, and calculators if needed. We no longer accept student verifications over the phone. If an instructor is verifying a student’s identity, they will have to come into the testing center with the student and complete a third-party verification form.
The Testing Center currently has 40 computers that are used for computerized testing, 黑料社区网 placement testing, Computer Literacy testing, CLEP, Canvas, and various professional certifications. The Testing Center also has 30 stations for written tests, and during heavy usage of written tests, we will use the computer testing stations as fill-ins for written tests. This allows us to accommodate more students at a time.
Please allow plenty of test-availability time for all students to complete exams knowing that there may be times when testing stations and computers may not be available for your test.
Advise your students not to wait until the final hour to take the exam as a computer may not be available to them.
Students taking the same exam will be seated every other computer filling in-between with other computer-based exams. If every other computer in the testing room is being used by students taking the same exam, the Testing Center staff will start a student next to another who is almost finished. Students taking written tests are only allowed to sit by a person taking the same test if there are no other seats available.
Test Security
Students should be limited to one log-in only so that a student may not inadvertently take a particular test more than once (or have the ability to log into it again from somewhere else).
Testing aids such as calculators, rulers, compasses, protractors, etc., will not be allowed into the testing center without the proctor sheet stating the testing aids are allowed or a note of approval from the instructor.
Open book testing is not allowed in the testing center; please make arrangements for this type of test to be taken in class.
The instructor can make arrangements for a test using one sheet of notes and the notes will be stapled to the test when it is complete. Students will not be allowed to take their notes out of the testing center.
Canvas exams
If you are using Canvas for your tests, please make sure all your students are enrolled in your class on Canvas before they come into the testing center to test. If they are not enrolled prior to coming into test, they will be sent to one of the computer labs or the library to get enrolled. You can enroll all your students at once or include instructions with your syllabus. You will also need to send instructions on how the proctor will access your test on your site.
There are test security issues because of screen shots, Internet, and e-mail access from the testing computers. Setting a time limit within Canvas may alleviate any time to do anything other than take the test also see the information for Respondus below.
Respondus
The testing center is now using a program called Respondus which is a lockdown browser for Canvas exams. This program locks the internet browser window so that students cannot access anything but the Canvas program. All Canvas tests will be put into this program unless it has to access another program such as Media Player. Please let us know on the proctor sheet if this is the case.
When the test is put into the program Respondus the Testing Center will change the password you create for your test. This new password is the password the Testing Center uses and it will be changed weekly. Tthis password can be accessed through your edit test options if you have someone who is taking your test outside of the campus or outreach centers.
All 黑料社区网 testing centers and outreach centers have the Respondus program on their computers and know the weekly passwords to access Canvas exams
Please make sure that the name on your exam matches the name for it in Canvas
Please make sure it is available before sending the proctor sheet to the testing center.
If you are sending a test to the outreach centers but not the campus testing center please contact the campus testing center so your test can be setup in Respondus. This is only done by the campus testing center or Jeff Gourley, Testing Center Coordinator.
Proctor Sheet
A Proctor Sheet is required for written and online proctor form can be completed on the website for computerized testing.
If the approximate time to complete the test listed on the Proctor Sheet is more than one hour, the test will not be given if there is not enough time to complete the test before the Center closes.
Please set the opening and closing date and time within the computerized exam to ensure that students are taking it in the proper time frame. The Testing Center always checks the proctor sheet to see if the test is open or closed. This is a nice double-check feature of ours. No test will be given after the closing date without notification from the instructor.
