Faculty and Staff Area

Tests submitted by faculty for test administration must be within Faculty Guidelines For Use of ACC Academic Testing Centers.

What Your Students Need to Know:

1. Procedures for Student Use of Academic Testing Centers
2. Students must present ACC Photo ID each time to request a test.
3. Your students must have the following information:
   1. Course Abbreviation + Course Number + Synonym Number + Section Number
   2. Instructor's Name
   3. Test Number (As documented on your test copies and Test Transmittal Form)
   4. Please tell your students the materials you have authorized for your test. For example, if only a non-programmable calculator is allowed, students will not be able to use a graphing calculator or similar technolgy.
   5. Students with unauthorized materials and/or cell phones while testing are in violation of Testing Center procedures and their testing privileges will be revoked, thus barring them from all ACC Academic Testing Centers.
   6. Please encourage your students to test prior to test deadline dates which will help them avoid possible wait lines.

To minimize computer problems that can occur, please review the Secure Online Testing with Respondus Checklist and go to a testing center and deploy each test to ensure the correct test delivery for your students.
