Step 1: Understand Your Accommodations 

• Understand that accommodations begin when they are approved and instructor is notified. Accommodations can’t be applied retroactively. 
• Review your approved accommodations in V体育ios版 - the Hub. 
• Fill out an "V体育2025版" Accommodation Request Form to modify accommodations. 

Step 2: Send Instructor Notifications (Required Before Scheduling Exams) 

• Review the V体育安卓版 - Hub Orientation for Students and send all instructor notifications. 
• Allow 24–48 hours for your Hub record to fully activate after setup. 

Step 3: Schedule Exams 

• Review the "V体育ios版" Hub Orientation for Students for how to schedule exams.  
• Clearly indicate in your request if testing at a different time than your class. 
• You must schedule at least 7 calendar days in advance, but this does not guarantee a seat. It’s best to schedule exams as soon as you know the dates. Space is limited. 
• If scheduling through the Hub 7 days in advance isn’t possible, submit a Non-Standard Scheduling (NSS) Request Form. It is generally not possible to accommodate same day or next day requests. Do not attempt to schedule an exam through email. 
• Cancel exams in the Hub if you make a scheduling mistake or if you arrange to take the exam at a different day/time/location. Also email the cancellation to accessibility@www.qiuluzeuv.cn. 
• Reschedule cancelled exams through the Hub or submit an NSS form if needed. 

Step 4: Schedule Final Exams 

• Adhere to published deadlines each semester for scheduling final exams.  

Step 5: Communicate with Instructors 

• Discuss testing arrangements directly with each instructor. 
• Understand that instructors may provide testing accommodations for you or require you to use the testing center. 

Step 6: Prepare for Testing Day 

• Know the location of your exam (UCO testing center or other location). 
• Be on time. If you are late, you may forfeit extended time or the administration of your exam altogether.

A 5-Point Guide for Instructors

1. Scheduling Flexibility
   • Tests proctored by the UCO Testing Center may be scheduled outside of the date and time the test would ordinarily be administered.  Starting September 2nd, the Testing Center will be open on Monday through Thursday at 8:30 AM – 7:30 PM, and 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM on Fridays (with additional capacity during Fall and Spring Finals and on one Reading Day). Outside of finals, the Testing Center has 50 seats.  Tests will be scheduled based on availability of Testing Center space and student schedules.  Instructors who wish to have tests proctored in the Testing Center must allow for flexibility in scheduling as determined necessary by the Testing Center.
2. Test/Exam Paper Submission
   • Upload exams to The Hub as a Test Package no less than 24 hours not including weekend hours, before the scheduled start time and preferably upon receiving notification of a student’s exam scheduling. Late submissions will generally result in the inability of the UCO Testing Center to administer a test/exam and will generally require the instructor to separately proctor the exam in compliance with the student’s accommodation plan.
3. Test/Exam Limitations
   • The Testing Center cannot administer tests/exams with “multi-step” processes, “audio-visual” components, “timed exposure” elements, or spoken responses unless these are preconfigured appropriately through an LMS.
4. Test/Exam Format
   • Instructors must include the following information on exam papers for better preparation and student orientation:
     • Class prefix, number, and section, instructor’s name
     • Applicable semester
     • Exam title (e.g., Midterm 2, Fall 24 Final)
     • Page numbers
     • Clear “end of exam” indication
   • Exams that do not include this information may be returned to the instructor for correction, which may result in delays that result in the inability of the UCO Testing Center to administer a test/exam.
5. Communication During Tests/Exams
   • Instructors or their designee must be available to Testing Center staff for the duration of any exam being proctored by the Testing Center, including exams scheduled outside of the normal exam time, and must provide a contact phone number and/or email that is actively monitored during the exam period.
   • Failure to respond to Testing Center questions during the exam period will generally result in the Testing Center providing students the best answer available based on the instructions provided by the instructor.
   • Instructors must share any in-class announcements, corrections, or clarifications with Testing Center staff.
