Scheduling Exams
The DRC Testing Center will follow the University testing schedule; however, testing start times will be adjusted to accommodate for extended time for testers.
DRC Test Times: 8:00am, 12:30pm, 3:00pm, and 5:00pm.
Exams scheduled for...
- 8:00am will begin at 8:00am at the DRC
- 12:00pm will begin at 12:30pm at the DRC
- 3:00pm will begin at 3:00pm at the DRC
- 7:00pm will begin at 5:00pm at the DRC
Important Information:
- All final exams administered through the DRC Testing Center will be 4.5 hours (50% time) unless a student has additional time in their accommodation plan.
- Students are required to schedule all exams on the same day and time (see adjusted testing time at DRC) as the University's Exam Schedule.
- If a student has back-to-back tests where the first exam will overlap into the next exam (i.e. students who have 12:30 and 3:00 exams or students who have 3:00 and 5:00 exams), discuss alternate test times with instructors PRIOR to scheduling a test request. Once the student has been approved to submit an alternate test time, the student must include that information in the Notes section of the test request. If approval was not obtained by the student prior to scheduling the test request and selecting an alternate test time/date, the DRC Testing Center will comply with the instructor's request. This may result in the cancellation of a test request and the student will have to take the exam in the classroom without accommodations.
- To take final exams at the DRC, students must schedule exams through the Test Request System in Banner.
- If a test is scheduled incorrectly, instructors and the DRC have the right to deny a test request.
