Student Accessibility Services (SAS) Test Proctoring Procedures

Students with disabilities may choose to use their approved accommodations for exams. If you, as faculty, are unable to provide the accommodations and need SAS to proctor your exam please review the procedures below.

Proctoring Form

We require a test proctoring form via the Accommodate platform be completed for each course.
Students requesting a testing accommodation with SAS will book their exam through Accommodate, and the instructor will be notified that there is a test booking.
The instructor can then log into Accommodate under their “Exam” tab, click “Add New Exam,” and fill out the necessary information for that exam (this step is similar to the Test Proctoring Google Form). Once that is done, your testing parameter will go to SAS, as will your exam if you uploaded it at that time.
Students are required to notify SAS of testing dates via test room booking in Accommodate.

Timelines:

We ask that the proctoring form in Accommodate be completed 3 business days prior to regular exams during the semester and one week before a final exam.
The exam should be delivered to East Annex, uploaded into Accommodate, or emailed to um.sas@maine.edu by 3:00 pm the day before regular exams (if your exam is not ready to be delivered by 3pm the day prior you must contact SAS). Final exams must be delivered 2 business days prior to a final exam.

Test Receipt and Return:

Please either email exams to SAS at um.sas@maine.edu, upload to Accommodate, or deliver it to the SAS office at room 121 in the East Annex.
SAS will scan and upload finished exams into Accommodate, or hold them for pick up at our front desk.
SAS is not able to pickup or return exam.

Please be advised of the following information:

OUR OFFICE HOURS ARE 8:00 A.M. – 4:30 P.M. ALL EXAMS MUST BE COMPLETED BY 4:30 P.M. IF SAS IS THE TESTING LOCATION. If your exam is later in the day, or the student has a conflict that does not allow them to access their approved amount of time during our office hours the student may request an alternate time earlier in the day or the following morning. If you have questions or concerns about approving an alternate a test time please contact SAS.
Due to the heavy volume of exams we are not able to proctor exams if the procedures above are not followed.
SAS cannot be responsible for reminding faculty to send exams that will be proctored.

Still have questions or need assistance SAS staff are glad to assist. Please contact us at um.sas@maine.edu, shenry@maine.edu or 581-2319.
