The Testing Center

The Accessibility Testing Center is responsible for providing a secure and accessible environment for students to take their exams. It is located in Theresa Hall 024 and has regular hours of operation. Regular hours are 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Students can find specific dates and time ranges on the Accessibility Testing Center calendar.

The Accessibility Testing Center staff responsibilities:

• Provide secure and quiet setting for testing
• Provide proper administration and storage of exams
• Return exams during the appropriate timeframe
• Continually monitor the Accessibility Testing Center via in-person walkthroughs and video surveillance Please note:

The Accessibility Testing Center is not authorized to interpret scores. Students will be directed to the faculty responsible for the course for that information. The Accessibility Testing Center is not authorized to grant additional time or testing aids not specified by the Office of Accessibility.

The Accessibility Testing Center does not accept walk-in appointments.

All testing appointments must be scheduled at least 72 hours in advance. This allows us to ensure proper staffing and resources are available to accommodate your needs.

To schedule a testing appointment, please follow the instructions below:

1. Email atc@ndm.edu
2. Describe the date and time that works best for you.
3. Tell us the name of the instructor and the class you need the Testing Center for
4. Provide any necessary information or accommodations needed for your test.
5. Confirm your appointment via email with your professor CC’ed

Students should arrive five minutes before the scheduled time to check in. The check-in procedures include:

1. Removing coats, backpacks, and personal items and putting them in a locker. (Please make sure all nonmedical electronics are silenced)
2. Provide the proctor with photo identification such as a Notre Dame Student ID or a State/Government issued ID
3. Check into the testing center using the QR code at the desk
4. Wait for proctor directions to begin your assessment

• NDMU students needing accommodations must register with the Office of Accessibility and be approved in order to use the Testing Center.
• Students are encouraged to take exams while their class is testing. However, many factors play into a student’s scheduling during that exact time. Therefore, students using accommodations can utilize a window from 8:30 a.m. the day before the test is scheduled to 4:30 p.m. the day after the test is designed.
• Students must inform their faculty of the scheduled exam date no later than 48 hours before the exam date to ensure test materials are sent to the Testing Center.
• Students can reschedule or cancel appointments via email (atc@ndm.edu).
•  Students should be five minutes early for their assessment. If a student arrives more than 30 minutes late to the scheduled appointment time, they may not be permitted to test upon arrival. Students can call (410-532 5315) or email the Testing Center at (atc@ndm.edu) in advance to discuss if any arrangements can be made; however, this will not ensure the student can take the exam that day.
• If a student is a no-show, they will need to reschedule their exam with their faculty.
