Overview
General Information
The UAS Testing Center offers proctoring services for all local and distance exams. The UAS Testing Center is a large, quiet room located at the bottom floor of the Egan Library, adjacent to the Learning Center. A proctor is present in the room during all regularly scheduled hours. The Testing Center is equipped with a videocamera to monitor the testing environment during specially arranged times when no proctor is present. All students taking exams at the Testing Center are required to present a picture ID with signature and to sign an Examination Certification Form to help maintain the integrity of all proctored exams. The students are also asked to sign in and out of the Testing Center to monitor usage and for easier tracking of students who have taken exams.
All tests are administered during scheduled Learning Center hours only, unless special arrangements are made.
Local Exams
All UAS instructors have the option of conducting their quizzes and exams at the Testing Center instead of during regular class time. This option allows students to take the exams at a convenient time and to take more time than could otherwise be allocated. Instructors can also choose to allow only students who need special accomodations to take the exams at the Testing Center. The option of taking exams at the Testing Center makes make-up exams easy and allows instructors to plan their exams even if they are out of town for a time. Instructors interested in using this service need only contact TLC about a week in advance of the test date, fill out a Test Information Form, and bring their exams to the Testing Center.
Distance Exams
The UAS Testing Center proctors UA affiliated exams for free. We charge $30/hr for proctoring all non-UAS affiliated exams. If you want to use the UAS Testing Center as a proctor for your distance exams, you must must make arrangements with the school that is offering the course. The information you will need to give them is available here.
BLA Impromptu Essays
Impromptu Essays for BLA and other program portfolios are administered twice a semester at the Testing Center. The dates and times for the current semester are available from the Writing Assessment Program site.
