CAS Test Proctoring Center

The Role of the CAS Test Proctoring Center

The Center for Accessibility Services offers test proctoring services to students with approved testing accommodations. Faculty members who have students who receive testing accommodations may provide the necessary accommodations in the classroom or another space that they monitor (conference room, office, etc.) Other faculty members may not be able to provide proctoring on their own. In this case, the faculty member should offer the student the use of the Center for Accessibility Services Test Proctoring Center. If a student is planning to test with the CAS Test Proctoring Center, the student will complete a Proctoring Request Form 5 days (including weekends) prior to the requested date of the test. (See How to Submit a Test Proctoring Request Video). For final exams, students should submit Proctoring Requests one full week (7 days) in advance of the requested exam date.

The Test Proctoring Office is an extension of the classroom. While the Test Proctoring Office is an area for students to use their approved testing accommodations, the instructor is still the authority on how the test should be administered and taken.  To ensure that the test is proctored to the satisfaction of the instructor, the student’s Proctoring Request will be reviewed by the instructor to ensure that the date, time, of the requested exam are correct. In reviewing the Proctoring Request, the instructor may indicate what materials, if any, can be used by the student during the test, how long all other students will have to take the exam, and how the exam should be returned to the instructor.

Please note that the CAS Test Proctoring Center within the Center for Accessibility Services is for use by Radford University students taking courses on the Radford Main Campus.

Students associated with the Center for Accessibility Services but taking courses at Radford University Carilion in Roanoke should refer to the Radford Carilion Educational Testing Center for test proctoring needs.

The Center for Accessibility Services asks that students submit Proctoring Requests five (5) days prior to the requested date of general exams and seven (7) days prior to the requested date of a final exam.

The provision of advanced notice allows the Center for Accessibility Services to ensure adequate space, time, and staff to proctor the exam. Testing Requests should be submitted through Access CAS, which can be accessed via ONECAMPUS. Please see the linked video on How to Submit a Proctoring Request via Access CAS for visualized instruction.

 Please note that while students should submit Testing Requests through Access CAS, the Testing Request will be sent to the course instructor-- who will either approve/decline the request. CAS staff members are not able to approve a Testing Request without instructor permission.

Students arriving at the CAS office to take an exam without having submitted a Proctoring Request through Access CAS or notified the Testing Coordinator of the need for assistance submitting a Proctoring Request may not be accommodated.
