Faculty Accommodated Testing Information
Please review the Accommodated Testing Guidelines for Students, Faculty, and all Testing Center information related to testing accommodations.
Instructors will receive an accommodation plan sent by the student through the Accessible Information Management (AIM) System used by ASC. This is the process where instructors are provided the official notification of student accommodations at the start of each term.
Students meet with and discuss accommodation plans and logistics with the instructor each semester to receive their accommodation(s).
The instructor is responsible for delivery of the examination(s) to the Testing Center through the Testing Center Registration System Professor Module (See "Faculty Exam Submission Instructions" section below).
The exam submission must be received by the Testing Center at least five (5) business days in advance of the exam date so the student has time to register for their exam.
When the submission has been approved by Testing Center staff, student registration through MavLINK is now “live”. This means the student may now register for a day and time to take the exam at the UNO Testing Cener.
The Testing Center is notified of the accommodation(s) needed through the scheduling system when the student completes their registration. This allows the Testing Center time to schedule the accommodation(s) needed during the exam.
The instructor does not make a testing appointment for the student. This is the responsibility of the student via MavLINK. Student registration instructions can be found on the Accommodated Student Guidelines web page.
The student will receive an auto-response email sent to their UNO email confirming the location, date, and time of their exam after completing the exam registration process.
The Testing Center does not contact the instructor to request exams for students. This is the responsibility of the student.
A Testing Accommodations Responsibilities Acknowledgement form may be used by the student and instructor to help facilitate a conversation regarding the specific responsibility of each in the scheduling of an accommodated exam at the Testing Center.
