Student Exam Policies

Center for Disability & Access

For eligible students, after accommodation notices and letters have been sent out to instructors, please schedule ALL of your exams and quizzes for the current semester through CDA as soon as possible.

Schedule your exams online through the following link, Exam Form.  You will receive a confirmation email once your exams have been scheduled.

Exams must be scheduled for the same days and times the class will be taking the exams.

Due to space limitations, exams must be scheduled in advance.  CDA cannot proctor same-day or next-day exams.

Exams are scheduled on the following days:

Monday - Friday 8:30am – 4:30pm

Faculty Exam Information

Center for Disability & Access

As a service to instructors, CDA may administer exams on the instructor's behalf.

If you would like CDA to proctor exams for students approved for exam accommodations, please make sure to add all quiz and exam dates for your course(s) when you complete the accommodation form located on the CDA Faculty Portal.  

Exams must be scheduled in advance (typically, five school days prior to the exam). CDA is not able to provide accommodations for same day exams.

CDA does not have a designated testing center and needs exam information as early in the semester as possible to procure enough testing space for the entire semester.

Exams should be provided to CDA by 12 PM (Noon) the business day prior to the exam in order to facilitate the process of exam proctoring. Thank you for your support.
