Testing Accommodations
The OAR Test Proctoring Center is available to students who are registered with the OAR, and who have approved testing accommodations. Faculty can regularly provide students with their approved testing accommodations such as extended time and separate setting, but in the instance when a faculty member cannot provide testing accommodations, students may request to take an exam at the OAR by submitting a test request!

4. Complete the required fields and click Add Exam Request.
Note: If the request is submitted within 3 business days of the exam/quiz, it will be marked as a "late request". Please complete the additional required fields and click Submit Late Exam Request to push your request through.
You are welcome to submit your test requests as soon as you know the date of the test.
Because we need time to prepare each individual test and testing room, we ask that students submit their request for OAR Test Proctoring services by 4 pm, at least three (3) business days before the test during the semester. Business days do not include weekends.
Any test request submitted outside of the recommended time, will be considered a late request, and will not be confirmed until it is determined that space is available, and we recieve the test proctoring information from the instructor.
Please submit your late requests as soon as you know you need to use our testing center. We accept late requests, but they are contingent on testing room availability, and will not be confirmed until all test proctoring information is received from the instructor. Because of this, it is good practice to reach out to your instructor and let them know about your late request. Until you recieve confirmation from us (via Outlook calendar invitation), please plan on reporting to your classroom for the exam.
Please do not submit duplicate requests. Contact our office to make changes to an upcoming request. You may also view, edit, or cancel all of your upcoming tests requests by visiting your AIM profile.
