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.

Steps to Schedule an Exam

1. Login to AIM with this link. Use your K-State eID and password.
2. Click “Alternative Testing" on the left sidebar menu.
   
3. If you have not already done so, read the IMPORTANT MESSAGE section.
4. In the SCHEDULE AN EXAM section, “Select Course” from drop-down menu. (If you do not see the course in the drop-down list, then you have not sent the testing accommodation letter to the instructor.)
   
5. Click “SCHEDULE AN EXAM.”
6. Complete the EXAM REQUEST section.
   • Exams should be taken at the same time as the class unless there is a valid reason to take them at a different time such as evening exams or back-to-back classes.
   • For final exams, follow the K-State Final Examinaton Schedule.
   • If the final exam date is not available on the dropdown list, choose “The exam I’m scheduling is not listed.” Select the appropriate exam type, the final exam date, and the time.
7. Carefully read the TERMS AND CONDITIONS and check the boxes:
   • I will submit exam requests at least 3 business days in advance (10 days in advance for finals).
   • I will arrive on time for appointments and understand that arriving late will not extend the scheduled end time of the exam.
     
8. Click “ADD EXAM REQUEST."
9. Check for completion:
   • If you successfully submit the request, you will see a green check mark and “SUCCESS! YOUR ACTION HAS BEEN COMPLETED” near the top of the page.
     
   • If there is an error, an alert will appear in a yellow box near the top of the page saying, “SUBMISSION ERROR.”
     
     This means your request was not submitted. Check for missing or invalid information and submit the request again.

You should receive emails for each exam request you submit, approved requests, and reminders for upcoming exams.
