Why the Testing Contract Matters

As part of our commitment to supporting students with testing accommodations, we ask that you complete a quick Testing Contract for each course and section. This form gives our staff everything we need to make sure your students get the proper support while following your expectations - without any last-minute confusion!

Here’s what we ask you to tell us:

• • • How the exam will be given: Is it online or on paper?

    • What program or software the exam uses: Especially for computerized/online tests - Respondus, Hawkes, etc. - we need to know so we can prepare the correct environment.

    • What materials are allowed: Calculator, notecard, scratch paper, or maybe nothing at all?

    • How you'd like the completed exam returned: Delivered to the department office? Scanned and emailed? Picked up in person? You choose!

    • How you plan to get the exam to us: Dropping it off, uploading it, emailing it - whatever works for you.

    • What to do if the student has questions during the exam: Call you? Email? Let them figure it out? Just let us know your preference.

We know it’s one more step, but it makes a huge difference. By filling out the contract ahead of time, you’re helping us provide a smooth, fair, and stress-free testing experience for your students - and saving yourself from last-minute emails or phone calls on exam day.

Thanks for partnering with us to support all students!
