When a student submits a Test Proctoring Request, you will receive an email notification. You can review and approve the request through the Access CAS Faculty Portal in OneCampus.

If a student tells you they submitted a request but you did not receive an email, please check your Access CAS account.

• The exam file, if it is ready to upload
• The amount of time students in the class will have to complete the exam
• The date and time the exam will be administered in class

If you have questions about a Test Proctoring Request or need assistance with the process, contact the Center for Accessibility Services/Test Proctoring Center.

Important: Instructors are responsible for providing the exam to CAS at least 2 business days before the student's scheduled testing time.

Submit Your Exam

Please provide assessments to CAS at least two business days before the student's scheduled testing time. CAS may be unable to proctor an assessment without both an approved Test Proctoring Request and a copy of the exam.

You can submit an exam in any of the following ways:

• Access CAS: Upload the exam when approving or editing the student's Test Proctoring Request.
• Email: Send the exam to castests@radford.edu.
• In person: Deliver the exam to the CAS front office in Russell 325.

Students may not deliver exams to the CAS front office.

If you are unable to provide an exam two business days in advance, contact the CAS Test Proctoring Center as soon as possible to discuss options.

Receive a Completed Exam

CAS will return the completed assessment using the method selected on the approved Test Proctoring Request.

• Exams may be scanned and emailed to your Radford University email address.
• Instructors may pick up hard-copy exams from the CAS front office.

Students may not deliver completed exams from CAS to instructors

Extended Testing Time

Extended testing time is calculated using the amount of time provided to the rest of the class.

Example: If the class has 50 minutes and a student has 50% extended time, the student receives 75 minutes to take the test.

Extended time is based on the actual testing time provided to the class. For example, if an assessment is designed to take two hours but the entire class is given four hours, the student's approved extended time is calculated from the standard two-hour assessment time, not the four-hour window.

Proctoring Online or D2L Assessments

Testing accommodations may apply to online assessments, including assessments administered through D2L. If an online assessment has a specific time limit, approved extended-time accommodations apply to that time limit.For example, if all students have 60 minutes to complete an online exam and a student has 50% extended time, the student receives 90 minutes. Extended time generally does not apply to take-home assessments that students may complete over several days without a defined testing period.

Students with a reduced-distraction testing accommodation may request to complete an online or in-person assessment through the CAS Test Proctoring Center.

Assistive Technology
Students may use approved assistive technology during testing, including tools such as:

• Text-to-speech
• Speech-to-text/dictation
• Math software
• Other approved assistive technology

Students using assistive technology at home are encouraged to contact CAS at least two-weeks (10 business days) before an exam if they need assistance learning or testing specific software.

If an online exam requires a lockdown browser, such as Respondus, TopHat, or ProctorU, students should contact CAS in advance to determine whether the software is compatible with their approved assistive technology.

If a compatibility concern arises, CAS will work with the instructor to identify an appropriate alternative.

Respondus and Read&Write

Read&Write text-to-speech can be used with Respondus LockDown Browser. CAS can provide guidance to students using this combination. You are encouraged to share the Read and Write Respondus Lockdown Instructions with your student if they are using Read and Write software and Respondus.

If there are concerns about how a student's approved assistive technology will interact with Respondus, the Testing Coordinator will contact you. 

Pop Quizzes

Pop quizzes and assessments with little or no advance notice may create barriers for students who require testing accommodations.

If you plan to give pop quizzes and are concerned about providing an accommodation without advance notice, please contact CAS to discuss options for providing access.
