Testing Accommodations

If students have been approved for testing accommodations, and the instructor is not able to accommodate them within the classroom or the department, students may take exams, quizzes, mid-terms and/or finals in Office of Learning Resources' Testing Center.

Students must follow the established protocols:

  • Discuss testing arrangements with their instructor prior to scheduling anything in the Testing Center.
  • Schedule their exam(s) with the established deadlines via the online scheduling tool. In most cases, regular tests and quizzes should be scheduled at least three business days prior. In most cases, final exams must be scheduled at least two weeks before finals. Current students can find specific deadlines in Porches.

Neither professors nor the Office of Learning Resources is obligated to provide testing accommodations for requests made outside of the established timelines.

Honor Code

Overview and Procedures

The Office of Learning Resources' procedures align with the University of Dayton Academic Honor Code. Each semester, prior to requesting their accommodation letter, students must sign an electronic agreement stating they will comply with the Academic Honor Code when utilizing services through the Office of Learning Resources.

Students are notified that testing rooms, computers and computer program usage are monitored and video recorded. Students are required to leave electronic devices and other unauthorized materials outside of the testing room. Students must empty their pockets and remove their coats and hats before entering the testing room.

Suspected Violations

In cases of suspected academic honor code violations, OLR testing staff will do the following:

  • Stop the test and inform the student of the violation.
  • Collect the exam and any unauthorized materials.
  • Advise the student to immediately communicate with their faculty member about the academic misconduct.
  • Contact the faculty member as soon as possible.
  • Write a report with details of the academic misconduct incident as observed by the OLR staff witnessing the incident.
  • The Testing Center Coordinator or Director of Learning Resources will contact the faculty member and the department/college dean's office.
  • Return the test and associated materials to the faculty member as soon as possible.

The Office of Learning Resources does not restrict students who are suspected of academic honor code violations from utilizing the Testing Center for future tests. It is the faculty member's responsibility to submit an official academic honor code violation incident report.
