Test Registration

To take an accommodated test with Testing Services, follow these processes:

  • Register with Accessibility Resources to receive testing accommodations and submit a Semester Request to share your Accommodation Letter with your instructors.
  • Discuss with your faculty a plan for how you will most equitably receive your testing accommodations throughout the semester. This may include using Testing Services, but there may be times when it is more equitable for your faculty to provide you with your accommodations directly if they are able to do so. 
  • If using Testing Services, register for your test online through Accommodate. This is the only acceptable registration method. If you need assistance or have issues scheduling for an exam, please contact our office immediately. 513-556-1428 | testdel@ucmail.uc.edu

The video below provides guidance to students on making a test registration request in Accommodate.

  • Register to take your test before the registration deadline. The registration deadline is 72 hours prior to the time of your test for tests taken during the semester, and one week prior to the day of your test for finals. 
  • Take your exam at the same time that the rest of the class is taking it. There a few exceptions to this policy:
    1. If you have a time extension accommodation that would cause your test to run over into another class period, then you need to make arrangements with your instructor to begin your test earlier or take it at another time. You must make these arrangements prior to registering for the test, and your instructor has the right to choose when the alternate time will be. Your instructor may ask you for a copy of your class schedule to confirm this request.
    2. If your exam falls outside of our testing hours, you must make arrangements with your instructor to take the exam during our testing hours. Hours available for accommodated testing can be found on the Testing Services home page. Again, you must make these arrangements prior to registering for your test and your instructor may choose the time you will take the exam.     
    3. If Testing Services does no longer has seats available during your class time, you must decide with your instructor at a time when seats are available at our center. These arrangements must be made prior to completing a registration with our services, and your instructor must approve the time you will take the exam.

Do not schedule your test for an alternate time, no matter the reason, without first speaking with your instructor. Unless you need an alternate time for the reasons listed above, your instructor has the right to refuse to allow you to test during the time you have requested. If an instructor notifies Testing Services that they did not approve an alternate test time, Testing Services will not administer your test until the professor contacts the office directly to approve it. Remember, you can also arrange to test with your instructor and have your instructor provide you with accommodations.
