Proctoring will be available Fall and Spring Semesters Monday through Thursday from 9:00-7:00 and Friday 9:00-4:00 at the Testing Center. During Summer Session and Winter Break, proctoring is available Monday through Friday from 9:00-4:00. 

1. Provide each of your professors with a copy of your accommodation letter. Plan to have a conversation with them to let them know how you plan to use your accommodations. For example, “I plan to take my quizzes here with the rest of the class, but I will take my tests and the Final Exam in the Testing Center.” This way the professor has an idea as to what to expect.
2. Schedule your appointments with the Testing Center. Use each of your course syllabi and make all of the appointments for the semester. While your testing dates may change if the professor makes changes throughout the semester, you will have the appointments, and then update them in AIMS to request the change.  Changes in the date and time require the permission of the course instructor, so be sure to email them and copy Testingservices@rowan.edu to notify them that you are changing the appointment as the date of the assessment has changed.  Instructions for using the scheduling system are included below
3. Update your planner or online calendar with the appointments for each test so you remember when they are scheduled.

Although we administer the tests here in the Testing Center, we are not able to give you permission to change your appointment. You should email your professor to get permission to change your appointment and then forward that email to the Testing Center at testingservices@rowan.edu with your request. Once we have permission from the professor, we will work with you to reschedule your appointment.

Accommodated testing is scheduled through the Disability Resources Information System (AIMS).

Step by step instructions for making an Accommodated Testing Appointment through AIMS. 

Arrive at the Testing Center on the 3rd Floor of Savitz Hall in the Academic Success Center 5-10
minutes before your appointment.

The proctor will guide you through the check in process.  Have your ID out and hand it to the Proctor when you enter the Testing Center. You can use your Rowan ID, Driver’s License, State Issued ID, or Passport.

The Proctor will ask you to power down and stow electronics. Cell phones must be powered down and placed in a bag.  If you have one with you, you can use that.  Otherwise, we have bags we can provide.  You should also remove and store any other electronic devices, such as smart watches.   You will not be allowed to access your phone during the test, including any breaks.

You should take any approved aids out of your bag.  This includes items such as writing utensils and approved aids, such as calculators or formula sheets.  Everything else should be stored securely in your bag while testing.  You may have a drink in a closed container while you test, but food is not allowed in the Testing Center. Be sure to check your pockets, Remove any items in your front sweatshirt or oversized pockets and place them in your bag for storage while you are testing.

The Proctor will direct you to a testing station and allow you to settle in.  When you are ready to begin, the Proctor will provide you with the testing materials and your time will begin.  While you are testing you will be monitored by the proctors either in person or remotely by camera. If cameras are being used, there will be signs indicating their use.  The cameras do not have the ability to record, and are used for proctoring only. 

During your test if you need help, raise your hand and a Proctor will assist you. (Please
remember that this is a Distraction Reduced Environment, so they will be whispering and ask
that you do, too. If you need a break or to use the restroom, you will be allowed)

When you are done, raise your hand and a Proctor will assist you. You may leave when you are
finished testing. You do not have to remain until the end of your testing time.

Proctors usually will let you know when you have about 10 minutes left, but that is not
guaranteed, so be sure that you take note of the time.

At the end of the time, the Proctor will collect your testing materials and we will return them to
the instructor.
