Background 

• The Testing Center is in the Medical Library behind the front desk. Check-in with a library staff member on arrival. 
• All tests taken in the library must be taken in the Testing Center in order to support video proctoring. Recordings are saved for the academic year.
• There are eight iPads, and a charging cart. iPads should be plugged in and charging when not in use to ensure iPads are fully charged during exams. Software for all exams should already be installed on iPads to prevent delays when students begin exams. 
• The Testing Center door should be locked when the room is empty to secure the iPads.
• Questionable test behavior should be reported to the Medical Library Director who will review the recording and contact the relevant Associate Deans to investigate.

Policy and Procedures for Students with Accommodations

• Angela Bacon <angela.bacon@okstate.edu>, Interim Assistant Dean for Student Life, is the point of contact for students. 
• At least five days prior to the exam, the Course Director will notify students receiving testing accommodations with exam day instructions related to procedure and location. Course Directors will be notified at least five days prior to the exam, by the Committee on Students with Disabilities, that accommodations regarding procedures (times and location) have been granted; a proctor for this examination will be designated by the course director in compliance with the standard practice for assigning proctors. The Office of Educational Development (OED) and the course director will work closely together on exam times to best fit the schedules of student, director, and proctors. 
• Students with approved testing accommodations shall arrive at the alternate exam room with their login information at least 10 minutes prior to their scheduled exam start time.
