On the Day of the Test
Test Day Guidelines
Accessibility Resources provides a secure and supportive environment for students with approved testing accommodations. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth experience.
Before Your Test
- Arrive on time for your scheduled test.
- If you're late, we may need approval from your instructor.
- More than 30 minutes late = marked as a no-show.
- If something comes up, call 507-389-2825 or email examaccess@mnsu.edu.
- All test materials (calculators, formula sheets, etc.) will be checked to ensure they meet your instructor’s directions.
- Accessibility Resources provides laptops for online tests or assistive technology use.
- You may use your own device only if your accommodation plan or instructor allows it.
During Your Test
- Checking In: show the staff member your photo ID (MavCard, driver's license, passport, etc.) and await further instructions.
-
Personal items: Phones, smartwatches, backpacks, hats, audio devices, and similar items are not allowed in the testing room. Store them outside the testing space in one of the provided cubbies.
- Food and drink: Not permitted unless listed in your accommodation plan.
- Exception: Water in a clear bottle (provided in the front office).
- Restroom breaks: Discouraged. Try to go before your test. If necessary, you will be escorted, and your test time will not pause.
- Academic integrity: All tests are proctored via CCTV and/or a human proctor. Unauthorized resources or inappropriate behavior will end your test. Incidents are documented and reported to your instructor, including video evidence.
