Test Proctor Request Form
If you would like to utilize Testing Services for a class exam, the first step is to complete a Test Proctor Request Form. Once reviewed and approved by Testing Services staff, your exam will be listed as an option for students when scheduling an exam. Please allow at least two (2) business days for review upon submission.
For tests with accommodations, see the Students With Accommodations section below.

Students With Accommodations
The following steps should be taken to set up exams for students who have requested accommodations.
- Students seeking accommodations for testing will request accommodations through Student Disability Services. Approved accommodations for your student(s) will be communicated via a Letter of Accommodations.
- If testing accommodations have been indicated in the Letter of Accommodations for students in your class, you will then complete an Alternative Testing Agreement through your Accessibility Information Management (AIM) Faculty Portal. Only one agreement is required per class.
- Once your Alternative Testing Agreement has been processed (within 24 – 48 hours of submission), your students may proceed with scheduling an exam through Testing Services.
- Tests must be scheduled at least two (2) days in advance.
- Students are responsible for selecting their accommodations when registering for the exam.
For questions regarding testing accommodations, please contact Student Disability Services.
