Exam information for faculty

Instructors are requested to assist in the accommodation process in the following ways:

1. Deliver a copy of the exam at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled test/exam.
2. Ensure that an Exam Receipt form is attached to the front of the envelope containing the exam. Fully complete the information under ‘Must Be Completed by Instructor'.
3. If adaptive technology (e.g. audio format, enlarged) is required, please deliver the test/exam 48 hours prior to the scheduled test/exam
4. If a student requires the use of text-to-voice technology (e.g. Kurzweil, JAWS, Zoom Text), please email the exam file as a Microsoft Word document to the Exam Coordinator in order to avoid the need to scan the exam.
5. Once the test/exams have been completed, the instructor or someone authorized from the department will be responsible for picking up the exam between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:30 pm, ideally within 48 hours of test completion. Please remember that a majority of these students receive extra time so the ending time of the test/exam will be different from the rest of the class.

PLEASE NOTE: 

• Tests and examinations arranged by Student Disability Services are usually written in Student Disability Services, Dillon Hall, Room 117, although other rooms on campus may be used during the final exam period.
• 3-4 days prior to scheduled test/exams, an email will be sent to the instructor and a copy to the secretary including course information and names of students scheduled to write the test/exam.

• Trained proctors supervise tests and exams written in our testing facility. Proctors must attend a mandatory training session held every fall semester and are aware of the rules and procedures governing academic evaluation at the University of Windsor.

• Student Disability Services encourage instructors to visit the students at the test/exam site in case the students have any questions. Students are advised that if they are unclear about a question, and if the instructor is unable to visit, the student should note their concern on the test paper, and answer based on their interpretation of the question.

If you have any questions regarding tests/exams writing, feel free to contact the Exam Coordinator (ext 3463) or by email:  exam@uwindsor.ca
