Proctoring of in-person exams with disability-related accommodations is available through the Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) in their Testing Accommodations Center (TAC) with the permission of the instructor. Depending upon the student’s disability, testing accommodations may include but not be limited to the use of appropriate extended time, a distraction-reduced environment, computers, assistive technology, and/or adaptive equipment, and in very limited situations where technology is unable to be used, a reader or a scribe.

- Please arrive early (20-30 minutes)
- Finals dates have extended hours, you can schedule exams from 8:00 AM – 8:05 PM, we will be open and seating students starting at 7:30 AM.
- If you have final exams that need to be scheduled at the TAC, we encourage you to sign up by November 1. There have been instances in the past where the TAC has reached capacity during finals so signing up sooner is strongly encouraged. Signing up by this date will give us time to work with your instructors and arrange alternative testing arrangements with your accommodations should the TAC be full on the day of your scheduled exam.
- Lockers: There is limited locker availability – Please use only one locker, or do not bring items to the TAC as there is no guarantee that there will be enough lockers for everyone.

Reminders:
Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the TAC’s policies from the TAC Website prior to your visit to the TAC.
A few key policies to note are as follows:
- We request that you make your exam reservation one week in advance. If you cannot, then you must make your reservation no later than 8:00 a.m. THREE (3) business days prior to when you are to take the exam. The TAC system will not allow the exam reservations to be made past that deadline.
- Please arrive early (10-15 minutes) to allow enough time prior to your exam for the check in process with a possible wait time while other students are seated. You can begin your exam up to 30 minutes before your scheduled start time.
