Proctored Rooms for Make-Up Exams

Each course instructor or czar is responsible for determining when and under what circumstances make-up exams will be offered. Any course can use any of the proctored rooms provided below as long as the instructor and student agree on the date and time. In some cases it may be necessary for a course to reserve a room (contact Mikki) and supply its own proctor.

To support students with SDS testing accommodations, such as extended time, instructors with evening prelims should sign up (enroll) for the university's Alternative Testing Program (ATP) - by September 1 for the fall semester or February 1 for the spring semester. Instructors holding in-class exams can also enroll in ATP, or they can reserve a room and provide their own proctor.

What is the 24-hour rule? Instructors are encouraged (but not required) to grant student requests for a make-up exam if they have more than two final exams in 24 hours. See Final Exam Policies for details.

Instructions  / What to Expect

1. At least one week in advance, you must confirm with Jonathan Lafler that you intend to use one of the rooms listed below and need a proctor. Jonathan will arrange for ATP to supply proctors for the rooms that will be used.
2. Each course must designate a person (instructor, TA, or course coordinator) to deliver exams to the proctors at the exam room before the exam start time. Proctors will arrive 30 minutes before the start time listed for the room.
3. Please put blank exams for each room in an envelope labeled with your name and course number, and be sure to include a few extra exams in case an extra student shows up.
4. Include with the exams: your name and contact information; a list of students taking the exam (name and net ID) and their accommodations (e.g., 50% extra time); exam instructions, such as "no calculators" or "one note card allowed". (This form may be used to provide the information.)
5. Be sure to exchange contact information with the proctors and let them know what the procedure is for students with questions during the exam or if you may make announcements during the exam.
6. If you are the designated department liaison for that exam room, you will also be given a key to the grading room (Malott 260) to deliver to the proctors with your exams.
7. Unless you request other arrangements, the proctors with return all complete exams, other materials, and the key to Malott 260.

Evening Prelims - Conflict Room with Regular Time

A student scheduled to take two exams at 7:30 PM may take a MATH exam in the conflict room, then take a second exam at the regularly scheduled time and place. Rooms are available 30 minutes before the listed start time to allow for set-up.

Note:

1. MATH must offer make-up exams for conflicts on October 1, 2026 with CS 2112 and MSE 2610.
2. Conflicts with ECON 3130 on October 8, 2026 should be referred to ECON for a make-up exam.

Final Exams - Conflict Room with Regular or Extended Time

A student scheduled to take two final exams during the same exam period or three finals during consecutive exam periods may take a MATH exam in any conflict room provided the instructor and student agree on the date and time. Rooms are available 30 minutes before the listed start time to allow for set-up.

Arrangements for Fall 2026 will be made after the final exam schedule is published in October 2026.

Note: In the "Regular or Extended Time" room,  everyone starts at the same time. Regular-time students will have the standard 2.5 hours to complete the exam. The end time for SDS students will be determined by each student’s accommodation (e.g., 150% time ends after 3 hours 45 minutes, 200% time ends after 5 hours).
