Scheduling an Exam at the SDS Testing Center
When students use the SDS Testing Center, the student should schedule the exam at least 7 days in advance (2 weeks before study day for finals). The instructor will receive an e-mail notification before the exam in order to provide the testing center with information about the exam and a copy of the exam. Log in to the SDS Faculty Portal. From there, find the student(s) who are scheduled to take the exam for your class, select the student/exam, and provide the needed materials. If the exam is through ExamSoft, notate that the exam is “online” and provide the exam password (it also a good idea to include a hard copy).
