Testing Services
Students with approved testing accommodations may utilize ARC testing services to take exams in a private and secure manner. Whether a student requires extended time, a distraction reduced environment or an exam reader, the ARC can accommodate.
A testing room may also be reserved by ESL students. This provides a private space to use a translator or extra time if agreed upon by faculty.
Testing Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-4:15 p.m.

Submit the Exam Scheduling Request 2 business days prior to the scheduled exam.
STEP 2: CHECK YOUR EMAIL
ARC will send a confirmation email to the student and instructor when a request has been processed.
If the request is approved, this email will include a link to a form for instructors to complete with instructions for the exam administrator.
