Academic Testing Center

Established in April 2024, the Academic Testing Center (ATC) is one of the newest resources provided to students by Disability and Access Services. The main function of the ATC is to serve student test takers (and thus support faculty) who have approved exam accommodations through DAS. The ATC will provide a comfortable and quiet environment that considers individual student requirements which is crucial in supporting their academic success. It is operated by professional staff from Disability & Access Services and the Dean of Students office, with assistance from graduate and undergraduate student workers. 

It is the student’s responsibility to schedule exams at the ATC. For instructions on How to Schedule an Exam, please visit the link here. 

It is the faculty”s responsibility to make sure the exam and any instructions are provided to the ATC, and to get the exams back from the ATC. Directions for faculty can be found here.
