Student Information and Responsibilities

General Accommodated Testing Guidelines for Students

NDMU students needing accommodations must register with the Office of Accessibility and be approved in order to use the Testing Center. Once registered, students must complete the process outlined on the official intake form. If applicable, students must schedule a time to meet with a member of the Accessibility Team for training on using the Testing Center and software.

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.

Scheduling

 Undergraduate students will schedule exams through Navigate.

Graduate /Post-Graduate students will schedule their exams through the testing center.

Communicating with Faculty

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.

Rescheduling/Cancelling

Students can reschedule or cancel appointments through Navigate or the Testing Center. Students must reschedule exams no less than three business days (72 hours) before the exam date.

Late arrivals/ No shows

If a student arrives more than 30 minutes late to the scheduled appointment time, they may not be permitted to test upon arrival. Students should 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.

If you have any questions or need assistance with scheduling, please contact the testing center at 410-532-5401 or atc@ndm.edu.
