Student Accommodated Testing Appointment Guidelines
Testing accommodations are determined by the UNO Accessibility Services Center (ASC). The Testing Center is available to UNO students with disabilities who require testing accommodations that are part of their UNO ASC Accommodation Plan.
The Testing Center works with ASC to provide a secure, quiet, and controlled environment for accommodated exam testing. Testing accommodations provided at the Testing Center are arranged in conjunction with the student, instructor(s), and ASC. Requests for changes to accommodation plans must be made and approved by the ASC Director or their designee before a test is administered.
Accommodated Testing Student Guidelines
- Testing is done by appointment only.
- Schedule an appointment by contacting the Testing Center at least five (5) business days in advance of the exam date.
- Appointment requests less than 5 business days in advance of the exam may not guarantee the date and time requested.
- Testing appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Notify your instructor in advance of the date and time that you are scheduled to take an exam at the Testing Center.
- Schedule an exam as close as possible to the same day and time that the rest of the class will be taking the exam. Scheduling conflicts must be approved by the instructor.
- To receive extended time as an accommodation, you must schedule your testing appointment so that you will receive your full time even if you think you will finish early.
- Arrive on time for your exam. If you arrive late, you may not be allowed to test. (This is especially true during Midterm and Final Exam week.)
- Present a photo ID.
- Store personal items in a locker during your exam. No electronic devices are allowed in the testing rooms. Students may be scanned with a metal detector wand prior to entering a testing room.
- Notify the Testing Center in advance (if possible) to cancel a testing appointment.
- Abide by the University’s policy on Academic Integrity.
