Testing Accommodations Agreement
I understand that as a student requesting to utilize testing accommodations through Student Access Services at Hofstra, my responsibilities for each examination are:
To request the use of approved accommodations for each exam/quiz no later than seven (7) days prior to the exam date. Late submission of an exam request does not qualify for a makeup exam through the SAS Testing Center.
Exams proctored by SAS – I must submit a Request to Proctor form via Accommodate located in the student portal Waffle. Once in Accommodate, select Testing Room, choose your course and time, and submit the necessary prompted information. Exams proctored by professor – I must email the professor my accommodation request with SAS copied.
To schedule all exams for the same day/time as the class. Changes to the date/time of an exam can only be made for the following reasons:
To prevent a student’s extended time accommodation from interfering with any class lecture before or after the exam.
To prevent a student’s exam time from conflicting with SAS’s Testing Center hours of operation.
To notify SAS of any changes to the scheduled exam with written confirmation from the professor approving the change.
Arrive at the scheduled exam time and notify SAS if you cannot attend. All lateness will result in a deduction from my extended time. If lateness exceeds a reasonable time of 30 minutes or more, the exam cannot be administered by SAS. Unexcused lateness, absence, or late submission of an exam request does not qualify for a makeup exam through the SAS Testing Center.
To uphold Hofstra University’s Academic Honor Code and Community Standards. Cheating or any other form of academic dishonesty is prohibited. If a student does not adhere to the Academic Honor while taking an examination with SAS, the exam will be stopped and the incident will be reported through the proper reporting process.
To not use or have in my possession cell-phones, iPads, or any other electronic device during the exam.
Once the exam has been administered, requests to leave the testing area or use the facilities will not be permitted; please use the facilities prior to starting an exam.
No food or beverages will be permitted in the testing area.
To leave the testing station clean and as it was found.
Talking and socializing during the exam is prohibited. My presence may not be of distraction to others in the testing room, including personal behaviors and strong scents.
Specific student responsibilities may be altered with an approved ADA accommodation on file.
