CDA Student Exam Policies

Due to space limitations, students must schedule their exams in advance (typically at least five school days prior to the exam).  It is strongly recommended that students schedule their exam dates as early in the semester as possible. 

CDA cannot proctor same-day or next-day exams.

Exams should be scheduled for the same days and times the class is scheduled to take the exam.

CDA is available to proctor exams Monday - Friday 8:30am – 4:30pm.

Students may receive a reminder email regarding exams, however, it is the students responsibility to know the dates and times of their scheduled exams.

Arrive on time.  If you are late, you will not be given extra time for tardiness. This also includes exams scheduled in Canvas.  If you are more than 20 minutes late for an exam, you will not be allowed to take your exam.  You will need to make arrangements with your instructor to complete the exam.

If a student has an emergency and is unable to make the schedule time for the exam, the student must contact the professor and CDA as soon as possible to notify us of the situation, 801-581-5020.  The student will need permission from the instructor and CDA to reschedule the exam.

You will need your UCard as photo identification to take an exam.

You are required to turn off all non-medically required electronic devices (all phones, smart watches, bluetooth devices, etc.), including no alarms, alerts, vibrations, etc. and secure items in a bag/backpack and stored in the designated place. For Canvas exams, you will use your phone to log into Canvas and then you will be asked to turn off your phone and store it in your backpack.

No food or drink is allowed in the testing area unless previously authorized as an accommodation. If approved as an accommodation, follow instructions as directed by the proctor.

Personal items including backpacks, water bottles, phones, etc. must be stored in the designated area during exams.

You must turn in all items used during the exam including reference sheet, formula sheet, scratch paper, and any items requested by the instructor. Students may obtain reference sheet or formula sheet 3 business days after the exam was administered.

Students are allowed a 5-minute restroom break.

Cheating will not be tolerated.  In the event of academic misconduct, full disclosure will be made to the instructor.  Please refer to University of Utah Regulations, Policy 6-400, Student Rights and Responsibilities.
