Faculty Guide to Testing Accommodations

Requesting Proctored Exams

These guidelines explain how to coordinate proctored exams for students approved for accommodations through the Accommodations & Support Center (ASC). Following these steps helps ensure timely scheduling, proper implementation of accommodations, and exam security.

Step 1: Verify Student Eligibility

Students must be officially enrolled in the ASC program to receive testing accommodations through our office. It is the student’s responsibility to provide their instructor with their accommodations letter.

If a student has questions regarding eligibility or the application process, please encourage them to contact the ASC directly:

• Phone: (209) 575-6225
• Email: mjcasc@yosemite.edu
• ASC Main Office: Student Service Building Rm 116 (East); Yosemite Hall 115 (West)

Step 2: Student Schedules Exam

Students approved for testing accommodations are responsible for scheduling their exams directly with the ASC Testing Center.

Scheduling Deadlines:

• Exams/Quizzes: Request at least 3–4 days before the exam.
• Final Exams: Request at least 2 weeks before the exam.

Students may schedule:

• In person at the ASC Testing Center
• By phone
• By email

If a student approaches you about scheduling, please remind them to reach out to the ASC Testing Center directly for assistance.

Step 3: Instructor Confirmation

Once the student submits an exam request, the ASC office will contact you to:

• Confirm the exam date and time
• Coordinate delivery of the exam (Instructors may choose to email the exam directly to the ASC office or deliver a hard copy in person)
• Review any specific instructions (e.g., materials allowed, time limits, special guidelines)

We appreciate your prompt response to help ensure the exam is administered on time and supports the student's needs.

Step 4: Exam Administration & Return

ASC Testing staff will:

• Receive the exam from the instructor
• Administer the exam according to approved accommodations
• Maintain the security of all testing materials
• Return the completed exam to the designated instructor

We are committed to supporting both instructors and students throughout the testing process.
