Testing Procedures

This agreement must be signed by the student and placed in the student’s testing file before the student will be allowed to use the CDS/SNAP Alternative Testing Site (ATS). By signing this agreement, the student will abide by these rules every time they use the Alternate Testing Site.

 I understand and agree to the following rules regarding using the Alternative  Testing Site (ATS):

  1. Prior to signing up to take a test with CDS/SNAP, I will have provided my professor my Professor Notification Letter (PNL).

  2. I am responsible for signing up for tests at least one week (5 business days) in advance of the test date.

  3. I will not reserve a time that will interfere in any way with other classes, labs, exams, or other school-related responsibilities. Should a test interfere with other classes, labs, exams, or other school- related responsibilities, I understand that CDS/SNAP will not be held responsible nor will they excuse my absence.

  4. It is expected that I will schedule a test on the same day/time as when the class is taking it unless there is an academic-scheduling conflict (e.g. back-to-back class; evening class when ATS is not open). If I have an academic-scheduling conflict, it is my responsibility to reserve a time agreeable to the professor that will allow me ample time to finish my exams during the working hours of ATS (8:30 a.m. – 4:45 p.m., Monday-Friday).

  5. I am responsible for arriving at the time of my reservation to take the test. I understand that coming at a later time does not guarantee that I will have a space. I understand that CDS/SNAP has set times to take exams and I will complete my exam by 4:45 p.m. CDS/SNAP is not responsible for incomplete exams due to insufficient testing time.

  6. I understand that I may not access or have any cellphones, smart watches, fitness trackers, or other wi-fi capable devices in the testing room. I also understand that if I am caught with an unauthorized device in the testing room, even if I am not actively accessing it, CDS/SNAP will be informing my professor of this incident. Cubby storage space is provided to store personal items.

  7. Even though my accommodations may allow the use of specific software, Microsoft Word, or other applications for testing purposes, I may not visit other sites, folders, emails, etc., while testing unless directed to do so by CDS/SNAP staff or specifically stated in writing by my professor to the CDS staff prior to the beginning of the test.

  8. I am aware that a proctor will monitor all activities in the testing site to protect me from unsubstantiated accusations.

  9. I will demonstrate academic integrity in accordance with the College of Charleston Student Code of Conduct. CDS/SNAP reports all instances of suspected academic dishonesty to the Dean of Students, the professor, and/or other College personnel.
