KU Edwards Campus Test Center
The KUEC Test Center is located in Regents Center 125. It is available to all KU students needing quizzes or exams proctored. KU students attending classes at any KU campus may schedule an appointment at the KU Edwards Campus Test Center. Reasons to schedule a proctored exam may include accommodations granted by the Student Access Center (SAC) or due to permission from an instructor to make up or repeat a test.
Your First Appointment
First time users of the KUEC Test Center must connect with the Student Services Manager. Students will read and sign the Test Center Agreement, a listing of the rules and expectations. Then, the appointment to take the exam will be scheduled. If the student is receiving academic accommodations allowing them to take multiple exams in the Test Center in a single semester, all exams for the semester should be scheduled upfront.
Scheduling Additional Appointments
Students returning to schedule another exam after they have successfully completed their first exam in the KUEC Test Center may receive a link to book an appointment via Microsoft Bookings. To receive this link, email the Student Services Manager.
Information for Faculty and Staff
The KUEC Test Center is free for students and instructors to use. There is no limit on the number of exams a student can take in the Test Center per semester.
A student may be banned from using the Test Center at the discretion of the Test Center staff due to repeat academic misconduct or poor behavior.
Once a student has completed the initial Testing Center Appointment and identified you as the instructor, the Student Services Manager will email you with a link to a Qualtrics form titled Faculty Exam Form.
Once the exam has been completed, you will receive it via the method you indicated on the form.
Test Center Policies
Each student's inital appointment to sign the Test Center Agreement Form will consist of going over the policies below. Any questions regarding these policies may be asked at that time. If new major policies are created, all returning students will be notified.
Getting Started
- Some exams must be taken on different days than the original exam date. We do our best to work with your existing class schedule, the exam requirements, and your instructor to accommodate. Expect to start earlier or later than the standard exam time.
- Know if you need a blue book or other testing sheet and bring one to your exam. The KUEC Test Center does not have these for use.
- All students must present a physical ID to gain access to the KUEC Test Center. Acceptable forms of ID include a KU student ID or a government-issued photo ID.
- Currently, the KUEC Test Center does not provide electronic devices for online testing except in cases requiring assistive technology for a disability-related accommodation. While taking an exam on a personal device, students are expected to adhere to standards of academic integrity and will be monitored accordingly.
- Only items that are specified by instructors as permissible for an exam are allowed to be in the possession of the test taker within the KUEC Test Center. All other personal belongings and prohibited items must be stored in the lockers provided. Any attempt to retrieve items from a locker without the proctor’s permission will be marked as academic misconduct and reported to the instructor. Items prohibited outside of the lockers while testing include but are not limited to the following:
- Cell phones, cameras, smart watches, headphones, ear pods, and other electronic devices
- Backpacks, bags, purses, or wallets
- Coats, jackets, scarves, gloves, hats, and other outerwear
- Calculator covers, pencil cases, or pouches of any kind
- Food and drink, unless permitted with the descretion of the proctor or due to accommodations permitted by the Student Access Center
- Scratch paper (the Test Center will provide scratch paper as permitted by the instructor)
- NOTE: Items needed for test accommodations must be approved by KUEC Test Center staff during check-in. Please note that the lockers are not a secure storage for firearms.
Student Behavior
- If another student is testing in the room with you, you will exercise every effort to reduce noise (rustling of paper, slinging of belongings, coughing, etc.).
- Disruptive behavior is prohibited in the KUEC Test Center. Test-takers are expected to refrain from behavior that might disrupt other test-takers. Instances of disruptive behavior that disturb other test-takers may result in being asked to leave the test center.
- Any instances of academic misconduct as defined by the University Senate Rules and Regulations (USRR) Article II Section 7 will be reported to your instructor and can lead to expulsion from the University.
During the Exam
- Students are expected to remain in the Test Center during exams. Taking breaks outside the testing room is not permitted on exams shorter than three hours. Exceptions for urgent restroom needs will be made, but break times will be recorded and reported to faculty.
Accommodations
- If you receive accommodations that require additional arrangements such as a computer, scribe, etc., please discuss this with the Student Services Manager a minimum of 7 days prior to the requested date for all tests and quizzes, preferably during your Exam Scheduling Appointment.
Other
- The KUEC Test Center does not offer any remote or online proctoring services at this time. Students can take online exams at the KUEC Test Center on their own personal devices.
- All exams must be completed within the hours listed. All exams will be stopped at Test Center closing, regardless of whether the student still has time left granted by their instructor. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that their appointment is scheduled in a block that accommodates the time given by their instructor.
- Live Video Feed and Recording: The KUEC Test Center is monitored by an overhead video camera that provides live feed with the ability to record and save video clips. While at the KUEC Test Center, visitors consent to being recorded.
