Helpful Information for JJC Instructors

• It is not the policy of the Academic Skills Center (ASC) to proctor tests for an entire class.  Due to space and staffing constraints, this service was designed to assist each instructor with a few students each semester.
• A completed Test Submission Form is required for each test.  These forms are available online and in the Academic Skills Center.  It is important that the student’s first and last name is provided and spelled correctly, otherwise it will not match the student’s identification and the student will not be allowed to test.  Likewise, tests submitted without instructions will be treated as “closed book, no notes” and the time limit will be equivalent to the class time.  Only instructors or department secretaries may deliver exams.  We will not accept exams that are faxed or delivered by students or student workers; interoffice mail is always a suitable alternative.   Note:  You may drop off tests after hours in the drop box by the ASC Manager’s office (J-2033B). Completed test submission forms are kept on file in the ASC for one semester if verification of testing is needed.
• The ASC is for make-up testing only. The ASC does not accept take-home tests, homework, or any type of hand-outs to be turned in.
• It is the instructor's responsibility to inform the student when the test will be available in the ASC as well as what materials are allowed and required.
• If an ASC staff member observes a student cheating on any quiz or test, all testing and unauthorized materials will be confiscated.  The instructor will be notified immediately.
• If a special answer sheet or scantron is needed, please include it with the test.  The ASC does provide pencils and scratch paper.  We will not make additional copies of the exam.  The instructor must provide the appropriate number of exams so that each student has his own exam.
• The ASC will ensure that students have the appropriate amount of time to complete their testing.  If an instructor indicates on the Test Submission Form that a student should have three hours to complete an exam, then the student will be permitted to begin the exam no later than three hours before the ASC closes.
• Exams may be returned to the instructor or department secretary through interoffice mail or the instructor or department secretary may choose to pick them up; note the preferred method of return on the Test Submission Form.  We will not mail tests to an instructor's home address.  Tests marked for pickup by the instructor will be returned through interoffice mail if not picked up within two weeks of completion by the student.  All tests not taken by the deadline date or within seven days after the date of receipt will be returned to the instructor.  The instructor may resubmit these tests to the ASC.  Tests not taken by the end of the semester will be returned to the instructor after the third week of the following semester.
• Please remind students that children are not permitted in the ASC.

Special Accommodations

A student may request earplugs to block out noise distractions. Students with documented disabilities have the ability to work with the Student Accommodations and Resources (StAR) Department to arrange for further accommodations including screen magnification, Braille, sign language interpreters to help with instructions, large print or audio books, scribes, and trac-balls. To contact the StAR Department, please call (815) 280-2230.
