Learning Center Testing Procedures

Scheduling exams in the Learning Center to accommodate students with learning disabilities or for those who need to make-up exams is easy! Keep in mind that space is limited; please schedule as far in advance as possible.

For Testing Accommodations for Students with Learning Disabilities:

1.  The student should first retrieve a testing form from his or her counselor.  It would be a good idea for the student to obtain many forms to use for future exams.

2.  The form should be completed and signed by the professor and returned to Francine Rubin in 221 Student Services, preferably a minimum of 4 days before the scheduled exam.  Be sure to note the following information on the form:

• Date of exam
• Exact time of exam (Please keep in mind that we close at 5:00pm and collect all exams no later than 4:45pm.)
• How much time the student is permitted for the exam
• How the exam will be delivered
• How the exam should be returned to the professor
• Materials needed for the exam (i.e. computer or calculator)

3.  The exam can be delivered by email (learning@purchase.edu) or by hand to 221 Student Services.

4.  When the exam is finished, the student will return the exam to Francine Rubin in 221 Student Services.

5.  Unless otherwise indicated by the instructor, the exam will be returned to the proper mailbox or office.  Please specify the exact office number or mailbox.

For Make-Up Exams:

The Learning Center cannot guarantee accommodation for make-up exams. Contact us well in advance to inquire about availability.
