Make-Up & Accommodated Exams
We administer make-up exams for students who are unable to test due to illness, a family emergency or military service. This service is available to all courses (including classroom) at our Taylorsville Redwood, Jordan, Herriman, and South City locations. Make-up exams are not offered during the week of finals. If your entire class is not taking their final through Testing Services, with the exception of accommodated exams, the exam request is considered a make-up exam and will be offered the following week.
We administer exams for students with accommodation for faculty that do not use our services regularly for testing. If you are using our services for your entire course, you do not need to submit a separate accommodated exam request.
When you submit a make-up exam, we encourage you to select all four Testing Centers (Taylorsville Redwood, Jordan, Herriman, and South City) to give students the maximum availability in testing appointments.
When submitting make-up/accommodated (ADS) exams faculty will need to know the student’s username from Canvas/Banner to assign the exam to the student’s Bruinmail.
When signing up for a make-up/ADS exam, the student will no longer need to provide their S number and will be able to automatically schedule the make-up exam as long as they are signing in through MySLCC. Students will be able to sign up by clicking on their initials at the top right of their screen and select ‘My Exams' (the same way that they would schedule for any other academic exam). They can alternatively go to either 'Make Up Exam' or 'Accommodated Testing' in the drop-down menus and should see the exam to register for there.
When naming your exam, you can stick to a simple MATH 1010.501 Exam 2 Make-Up or MATH 1010.501 Exam 2 ADS nomenclature.
How to Submit a Make-up or Accommodated Exam
- Visit MySLCC and navigate to the 'Testing Services (Faculty)' tile card on your home page. If you do not see the testing tile card, please go to the bottom of the page and click on 'Discover More'. In the search box, type 'testing'. You can pin this tile card to your home page for future submissions.
- Click on either ‘Submit a Make Up Exam Request’ or ‘Submit an Accommodated Exam Request’ under Testing Services.
- Once you click the link to RegisterBlast, navigate to ‘Submissions’ and ‘+New’.
- Fill out all the required information on this form. Some important policies to be aware of:
- All necessary files must be attached at the time of the request. These files should be in a finalized form and ready to give to students directly without the Testing Center making any alterations (e.g., no answer keys attached, exams with multiple parts must have the two parts attached as separate files).
- All exams must have a time limit from 30 to 180 minutes.
- There is a minimum processing time of 24 hours (1 business day) to make the test available for students to schedule. Please note, certain accommodations will place a 48-hour restriction for scheduling to allow exam preparation i.e., read/scribe, enlarged text, or other accommodations. Please consider your student’s accommodations when setting start and end dates as they may not always be able to schedule after an exam has been made available for scheduling. No same-day submissions will be accepted.
- For paper exams only: completed exams will be scanned and emailed directly to the instructor; as this is the mode of delivery, no scantrons will be given out to students. All answers will be recorded directly on the exam.
- For both Accommodated and Make-up exams you must edit your Canvas course and make sure your exam is available and/or has the correct amount of time allocated to the student.
- Make Up exams are intended only for students in the above categories, and there are a limited number of seats available. There is a limit of 5 students per section per make-up test.
- Make-up testing windows may be open for a maximum of two work weeks.
- Make-up testing will not be offered during final exam periods.
- Accommodated exams do not need a separate submission request if the entire course is using Testing Services.
- Do not include double-time when submitting an Accommodated exam. The system will calculate additional time.
We strongly encourage faculty and students to review our testing policies to prepare for their appointment.
