• Center staff must follow the instructor’s directions. Any issues that arise can be documented by staff, but should be brought up with your instructor.

• The Testing Center is not responsible for the availability of the test at the time of your appointment. It is up to the student and/or the instructor to ensure the test is at the Center in a timely manner.

• Any DSS accommodations are considered confidential and they will not be reflected in your sign in.

• Only re-closable water bottles will be allowed at the testing stations.

• Electronic devices are not allowed in the testing rooms. This includes, but is not limited to: cell phones, smart watches, fitbit and garmin trackers, ear buds, MP3 players, etc.

•If you will be late or need to re-schedule or cancel an appointment this can be done in RegisterBlast if it is at least 12 hours prior to the appointment time. If not, please call 676-7207 or email us (for cancelations only) at testingcenter@nic.edu. An appointment must be cancelled or rescheduled at least three (3) hours in advance to avoid being listed as a No Show.

Finals Week

Only Finals are given during Finals Week. No make-up tests will be given. During the last week of classes (week before Finals Week), only make-ups from tests being given in class that week will be given at the Testing Center. If you must take a make-up from earlier in the semester during the last week of classes or during Finals Week, you must make arrangements with your instructor to take it with him/her. Before the last week of classes and Finals Week, we will give make up tests from any time during the semester.
