Testing Policies and Procedures
Scheduling Policies and Procedures
-
- SAEO office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. TAC closes at 5 p.m. and all tests will be collected at that time.
- Students should discuss the parameters of each quiz/test/exam with their professors prior to scheduling with SAEO.
- All quizzes/tests/exams should be scheduled at least 1 week in advance (2 weeks for final exams) in order to ensure space is available and there is time to contact your professors for testing materials and instructions.
- SAEO may not be able to proctor quizzes/tests/exams that have not been scheduled in advance.
- SAEO does not accept walk-in appointments or same-day appointments.
- Failure to schedule in advance may result in you having to test in class. And you may have to speak with your instructor to see if they may be able to accommodate you.
- SAEO may not be able to proctor quizzes/tests/exams that have not been scheduled in advance.
- You should always test the same day and time as your class. However, if you have a scheduling conflict (i.e. back-to-back classes, or an evening class that falls outside of our office hours), please contact your professor for permission to test on an alternate date/time.
- Once your appointment request has been processed, you will receive a confirmation email detailing your appointment date, time, and location.
- Your professor will then be contacted for testing materials and instructions. SAEO will coordinate the return of those materials.
