SSIL On Campus Testing Policies

1. Students must work within the SSIL schedule to complete exams. The lab will not stay open beyond regular hours to accommodate test takers.

2. Tests have a time limit and may only be taken during established testing hours. See Testing Hours, for hours. Reservations must be made for a one-hour block of time that guarantees at least 60 minutes to work on the exam. Tests may not be taken, and may not carry on beyond the scheduled testing hours.

3.Testing may not begin later than 15 minutes after your scheduled appointment. For example, if you have a 12:00 appointment, you cannot start your test at 12:16 - you will have forfeited your appointment slot and must make another appointment.

4. Bring a Photo ID with you to the test. You may not begin a test without proper ID.

5. Students MUST make reservations for all of their class exams, up to two weeks in advance of the date of the test. Many students put off taking their tests until the last moment. By doing this, students run the risk of losing the opportunity to take the exam. By making a reservation at least 5 days in advance, a student can guarantee a chance to take their exam. Again, reservations cannot be made for a test date more than two weeks in advance.

6. Testing appointments can only be made online by logging into the DE student home page and selecting the desired time from the calendar. Only one appointment may be reserved at any time, per class. Students waiting until the end of the term to take several of their tests run the risk of heavily deducted points, as well as there being no open time slots in which to take the required test in order to pass the course. Students are strongly encouraged to complete the required tests by the testing deadlines on their syllabi.

• The email should record: the student's name, the class, the test number and version, the date, the time, a clear description of the problem, and the resolution of the problem. 
• Finally, SSIL charges a fee to students enrolled in online courses online, which pays for the proctoring services the lab provides for the course. The revenues generated by the fees are put directly back into the SSIL labs. The revenues pay for hardware upgrades, software and software upgrades, server maintenance, paper and consultant wages. 
• The multiple course discount SSIL offers is $10 off the second SSIL class, $15 off the third SSIL class, and the fourth SSIL class is free.
