Instructions for Requesting Exams at the SAC Testing Center

Before you schedule an exam:

  • Be sure the letter of accommodation for that class has been approved and sent.
  • Do not schedule exams with the SAC Testing Center if:
    • If the course instructor can provide testing accommodations and proctor exams in the department, or
    • Exams are not proctored.
  • Plan ahead. You must submit requests at least 3 business days before the scheduled exam. For final exams, you must submit requests at least 10 business days in advance.
  • You can submit requests for all exams/quizzes/finals once the instructor has provided assessment dates. You do not have to wait until a few days before the exam to schedule.
  • You are expected to arrive on time for exams. Arriving late will not extend the scheduled end time of the exam.

*Deadline to schedule Fall 2024 Final exams: November 22, 2024 at 5:00pm*
