Alternative Testing Instructions and Testing Arrangement Form

• Students must submit a Testing Arrangement Form (TAF) at least two weeks before an exam.  
• Each TAF can cover up to six different exams; additional exams require a new form. 
• Students are to notify Testing Staff of their inability to attend their scheduled appointment at least one business day in advance. For medical emergencies, you must submit documentation to your advisor. 
• Exams proctored through the Office of AccessABILITY must conclude within the center's hours of operation, which are Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Fridays, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. 
• All exams scheduled after 7:00 PM will be accommodated and proctored in a classroom by instructors when the instructor does not approve an earlier exam date or time. 
• Accommodations such as scribe, readers, or the use of assistive technology for an exam will be managed by the Office of AccessABILITY at an alternative time. 

• Students are expected to be at their testing location at least 10 minutes before the exam.  
• Arrivals after the student's scheduled start time will result in a time deduction from the allocated testing time. 
• Missed exams must be rescheduled through the instructor (or through your AccessABILITY advisor for medical emergencies). 
• When exams are scheduled on different days or more than an hour before the class time on the same day, the instructors are encouraged to provide a different version of the exam. 
• If a student’s exam is scheduled before the class exam and ends within one hour (or less) of the class start time, they must remain in the testing room without access to electronic devices until the class begins its exam. This policy is in place to protect the integrity of the exam. Only instructor-approved materials listed on the TAF may be used.  
• The office will provide students with blue books, blank sheets of paper, and pens or pencils as needed. 
• Electronic devices, flash drives, and personal items will be stored securely at the testing location. 
• Restroom breaks are limited and timed, and based on disability and or length of the exam. Time is not restored unless the break is directly noted as an accommodation. 
• Students are advised to attend to personal needs (food, drink, bathroom) before the start of their exams.  
• Only water is permitted in the exam room.  
• The office will ensure approved accommodations (e.g., calculator, dictionary, assistive tech) are ready before the exam. 
• Completed exams and all accompanying materials must be handed to the proctor before leaving quietly.

• Respectful and cooperative behavior is always expected. 
• Unauthorized materials, argumentative behavior, leaving the testing area without permission, violating Hunter's code of conduct and policies, and failing to follow staff instructions, may result in immediate termination of the exam, report to the faculty, the student care team, and public safety. 

Before Exam: 

• If a medical emergency occurs, medical documentation must be submitted to the student’s AccessABILITY advisor, who will follow up with the testing staff and instructors to facilitate rescheduling the exam. 

During the exam: 

• Students are required to let the proctor know if they need to use a medical device or any other specialized equipment. 
• Students must notify the proctor immediately of any medical emergency. Public Safety may be called to call on EMT to the area. 
• In case of a medical emergency, the exam will be left with the staff, and the Office of AccessABILITY will contact the instructor to assist with rescheduling a different exam. 

• Students must present a Hunter ID or government-issued photo ID for verification purposes. 
• Sign-in and sign-out are required. 
• Instructors are expected to submit exams at least 48 hours in advance of a scheduled exam and indicate their preferred return method on the TAF. 
• Our office encourages all quizzes with accommodations to be taken in the classroom to prevent loss of instructional time. However, if an extenuating circumstance exists, our office will be able to assist with the instructor’s request. 
• Our testing staff provides laptops and computers for exam purposes. 
• All testing locations are monitored by staff and/or CCTV.  
• Testing locations and proctors are subject to change, according to office need.  
• Students will not be given access to personal items or electronics during fire alarms, evacuations, and emergencies. 
• All missed exams will be returned to the instructors. Students are expected to follow the TAF process to reschedule their exams. Upon receiving medical documentation, our office can assist with rescheduling. 
• Students should report any related concerns (proctors, equipment, testing environment, and medical) immediately.
