Instructor Guidelines for Use of Testing Center
 
NWACC Testing Services and its Testing Center currently observe the following guidelines when providing services for NWACC instructors.
 
Instructor Options
·         Instructors may request the Testing Center to provide on-campus proctor service for distance learning exams, make-up exams, and unassisted disability accommodations (exams should be submitted to the Testing Center no later than one day prior to the exam date).
·         Instructors may request the Testing Center to process exams for off-campus testing (off-campus exams should be submitted to the Testing Center no later than two weeks prior to the exam date).
·         Instructors may request the Testing Center to assist with the location of an off-campus testing site.
·         If an instructor needs the Testing Center to accommodate a whole face to face class for a test, two options are available: 1) students can make an appointment to come in individually at his/her convenience 2) should the instructor choose to have the entire class come in as a unit during scheduled class time, the Testing Center needs a minimum of one weeks notice to make sure seats are available.
     
Examination Requirements
·         Instructors must complete and attach a Coversheet to each exam.
·         After verifying student identification, the Testing Center will review pertinent coversheet information with the student; the coversheet and all attachments will then be given to the student to be completed as one unit, in one sitting.
·         Passwords, instructions, answer sheets, and any handouts should be referenced as attachments on the coversheet.
·         Upon retrieval, instructors must check to make sure all tests are present.
 
      On-Campus Distance Learning Condition
·         Distance learning instructors should submit a class roster, accompanied by a master coversheet and exams, prior to each test period.  (DL roster and coversheet should be submitted to Testing Center no later than two days prior to the exam date).
     
 
Off-Campus Testing
·         Instructors may request the Testing Center to find an appropriate proctor for students. (Instructors always have final approval)
·         Instructors must complete and attach a Coversheet to each exam.
·         An Off-Campus Test Center Information Form should be submitted for each student that will be testing off-campus (off-campus information should be approved by instructor and submitted to Testing Center no later than two weeks prior to the exam date).
  • Students are responsible for all fees charged by off-campus test centers.
