Students with approved testing accommodations, expectations and guidelines:

  1. Meet with instructors to discuss testing needs and determine how they would like to implement your testing accommodations, discuss expectations with instructor.
  2. If the instructor can provide the testing accommodations themselves, then student should work with them directly on the time and location.
  3. If it is decided that the student will use the Testing Center (located in Seibel Student Services, Bldg. 3030, Suite 104), then the student is responsible for coordinating completion of Exam/Quiz/Final/Schedule Form (Electronic Form is available on the Testing Center Website* & Hard Copy at Testing Center Office) with instructor (for each course listed on separate Scheduling Forms, several testing dates can be scheduled – an entire semester can be scheduled for all courses at the beginning of each semester).
  4. It is required that students verify the dates and times for testing with each instructor, obtaining instructor acknowledgement, indicated by signature on the Exam/Quiz/Final Schedule Form.
  5. Students must submit the completed Exam/Quiz/Final Schedule Form to the Testing Center**, in person or TestingServices@tamug.edu, and schedule testing at least 1 week before the expected date of exam or quiz, but at least 3 weeks for Final Exam scheduling (in person assistance is available at the Counseling, Career & Disability Resources office).

Instructors expectations and guidelines
Instructors expectations and guidelines
  1. Instructors should submit exam materials in person to the Testing Center (Suite 104 Seibel Building)  or to testingservices@tamug.edu at least 24 hours before the exam administration (for Monday exams, by noon the Friday prior). This includes copies of exam materials in Word, PDF, or other formats. This may also include instructions and passwords for computer based exams.
  2. Provide specific instructions on exam cover page or emailed exams addressing items allowed for student use during exam administration such as, scratch paper, printed resources, molecular models, calculators (make and model specific)  etc.
  3. The Galveston Testing form for Instructors for Instructors is a short questionnaire which provides the TAMUG Testing Center with details of your exams, what materials are provided, what students can and cannot use during the exam, and other information as applicable. Completion of this form helps us to administer to the same standards and expectations used for students testing in the classroom. Instructors need to only complete one Testing Agreement for each course.

Allow Start Time Flexibility: Students that are unable to start their exams at the same time as the class due to extended testing time that overlaps with their next class, conflicts with the Testing Center closing hours (see above), and limited start times during finals. Please choose a flexible exam start time.
