Faculty Instructions
Instructions to Faculty for usage of Vincent Testing Center
- The Vincent Testing Center will be reserved as scheduled through the web or by e-mail unless specialty scheduling is needed. In such cases, prior arrangements should be made with Testing Center Director Virginia Lester, Assistant Professor of Nursing.
- Virginia Lester maintains the Central Calendar for scheduling dates.
- Please schedule as far in advance as possible, a minimum of 8 weeks preferred.
- Priority for scheduling available exams:
- Nursing
- First scheduled, first served
- Last minute scheduling will be based upon space available
- Maximum security will be maintained at all times with security cameras recording all testing periods; if cheating is observed the instructor will be notified; University guidelines will be followed
- All belongings will be left in a storage unit for each student at the student's own risk (remind them to leave most in car if possible)
- Monitoring staff will not have a key or a copy of the exam; therefore remind the students that they will not have any knowledge of test content
- Testing time allocations will be followed; therefore, if you schedule the test and the student is late only the time left will be allowed. If the student chooses to leave for bathroom breaks, no extra time will be allowed.
- Remind the students that no personal electronic equipment, phones, calculators, paper, pencils, books, hats, etc., will be allowed in testing booth. These will be provided by the Testing Center and must be returned before students leave.
- The students can only access the test and no other programs can be accessed. No printing will be available.
- Remind the students to read the directions clearly for any specifics that will make a difference in their response, especially fill-in-the-blank or calculations.
- Explain to the students clearly about how the rationales for their responses will be given. This is guided by your directions when creating the exam and applying the security process.
- Student picture ID's will be required to take the exam. These must match the students enrolled in that course or section.
