Testing Center

Accommodate Faculty Login

Currently, the Testing Center only administers tests and quizzes to SUNY Purchase students who are registered with the Office of Disability Resources and have approved testing accommodations.

When students submit a Testing Accommodation Appointment via Accommodate, The Testing Center will be notified of the request via email.  The testing coordinator will then review the appointment to ensure that the specified accommodations are correct and to schedule the space for the designated duration of the exam during the testing hours (Monday – Friday 9:00am – 4:30pm).

Faculty will then be notified via email of the scheduled appointment. Faculty are expected to review the appointment right away and indicate if the exam date, time, and length are accurate. Special attention should be paid to any exam appointment scheduled to take place outside of the regular class period. Next, faculty should complete the “Faculty Information Required” section to upload the exam, provide any additional instructions, and indicate the preferred exam return method.

Faculty may also upload exams and instructions before any of their students have scheduled appointments. The same materials will be applied and provided to all students who schedule for that course and exam.
