If an exam or quiz needs to be made up, a student needs to take a retest, or special accommodations need to be made, instructors have the option of using The Testing Center at GovState. Currently, there are 10 of 23 seats available in the Testing Center and appointments are required. No walk-ins or same day scheduling will be accepted at this time.
Responsibilities of the Instructor:
- • For individual or group proctored exam requests, please submit the request through RegisterBlast which is located at www.govst.edu/testing-center . For request approval, please allow up to 1 business day, following the date received, for your request to be approved. If the exam request date does not allow time for the window of approval, then the exam deadline must be extended.
- • The Testing Center may need to coordinate with the ASSD office to provide for suitable accommodations for our students. Please keep in mind, this can affect exam scheduling availability.
- • Please provide advance notice with exam requests; All requests are subject to seating availability.
- - Large group exam requests (more than 10 students) should be made at least 1 month in advance to ensure availability. The Testing Center runs multiple simultaneous exam platforms and must scale seating for your exam; accordingly, please allow for students to have a 7-business day minimum to complete the exam.
- • If exam details change after a request is made, such as a deadline extension, the professor must edit the exam request in RegisterBlast. Otherwise, updated details or changes will not be accepted.
- • Once an exam request has been approved, professors must notify students that the exam appointments are available for scheduling as well as any other exam important details.
- • All testing materials will be maintained for six months
