Student Responsibilities

A Proctor Form entitled, “DSPS Academic Testing Accommodations Contract”, must be on file before taking your first exam at DSPS Academic Testing Services. Meet with your DSPS Counselor or DSPS Instructional Assistant in the Learning Disabilities Area, to discuss testing accommodations.  One proctor form per class.  Students who arrive after their scheduled start time will only receive the remaining scheduled time. 

No Drop-Ins:  Book a test room a week before the exam date.  Advise the scheduler if you need a Proctor to scribe or read, or use of a  computer.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR PROFESSOR YOUR SCHEDULED EXAMS AT DSPS TESTING SERVICES AND THAT INCLUDES ANY AND ALL CHANGES OR NO SHOWS
