• Academic Accommodations:  The University’s Office of Disability Support Services coordinates reasonable and effective accommodations for qualified students with disabilities.
• Test proctoring:  The Learning and Writing Center prioritizes test proctoring for qualified students with disabilities. Students who are in need of proctoring must seek prior faculty approval and sign up in advance through the LWC reception desk in Room 214. If you have a documented disability, please check with Laura Puryear, Disability Support Services Director to make arrangements for testing accommodations. If you need a proctor for reasons other than disability-related accommodations or a make-up exam, please check with Deborah DeBow, Learning Center Director. Make-up exams are proctored on Mondays from 3:00 – 6:00 p.m.
  When students request test proctoring, they are expected to:
  • Sign up in advance through the LWC reception desk.
  • Sign a test proctoring guidelines form.
  • Submit a signed faculty approval form.
  • Show up on time for the exam.
