The Make-Up Testing Center

Occasionally, circumstances arise that may force you to miss a scheduled test. When this happens, arrangements can be made with your instructor to take the missed exam at Seminole State's Make-up Testing Center.

The Make-up Testing Center provides make-up exams for students who are unable to take a scheduled classroom test for one of the following reasons:

• A personal, family, work or medical emergency
• A documented disability identified by Disability Support Services

Note: Only Seminole State faculty members can authorize a make-up exam. Speak with your instructor before scheduling a make-up test.

Testing Rules

The College has established certain rules to make the most effective use of existing resources. The following make-up testing rules must be observed at all times:

• The Make-up Testing Center will not test an entire class.
• You must work with your instructor to arrange a make-up test immediately after the scheduled exam is administered to your classmates.
• You must schedule your make-up testing appointment in advance. Repeated rescheduling of appointments is not permitted.
• You must take your make-up test within five business days of the date it reaches the Make-up Testing Center.
• You must arrive to the Make-up Testing Center at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment. The system will not allow you to test if you are even one minute late.

Testing Hours

There are limited hours for testing services. Make-up testing can only be guaranteed during the Make-up Testing Center's regularly scheduled hours. Tests will not be administered after the Make-up Testing Center's published exam end times.

Procedures for Scheduling a Make-up Test

To schedule a make-up test, you must log into the TeCo online testing portal. Make-up tests must be scheduled within the available dates and time slots.

• Visit Seminole State's online testing portal, and sign into the system using your MySCC user name and password.
• Select "Schedule a Session" from the student menu area.
• Click "New Appointment."
• Choose your campus from the dropdown location menu.
• Choose from the available tests listed under "Test Session."
• Pick your preferred date and time using the dropdown menus.
• Click "Save Appointment" to schedule your make-up testing appointment.

Make a note of your appointment date and time. If you forget your scheduled date or time, simply log back into the system, and click "Schedule a Session." A list of your scheduled appointments will be displayed.

Be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes early for your make-up testing appointment to allow ample time for check-in.

Testing Center Student Guidelines

• The Make-up Testing Center is available by appointment only.
• A valid photo I.D. is required at the time of testing.
• You must use the online sign-up system to schedule a make-up testing appointment. Appointments cannot be made by phone, e-mail or in person. The system will prompt you to fill in your location and test session date/time. After scheduling your make-up test, you will receive an appointment confirmation through your Seminole State e-mail account.

  Most students can use the online sign-up system independently; however, you may visit the Assessment and Testing Center for help if you have trouble. Please try using the online system on your own before seeking help.

• Only students with a scheduled appointment can test. Appointments are only valid for the make-up test(s) scheduled by your instructor(s).
• Instructors must submit an electronic or hard copy of the make-up test to the Make-up Testing Center at least 24 hours before you can schedule an appointment.
• To prevent cheating, the Make-up Testing Center requires students to leave all electronic devices in a storage locker. Only the materials specified on the testing form can accompany you into the testing area.
• Students are monitored in regular intervals during the test. Your instructor will be informed if you are found to be cheating, using prohibited materials or equipment, or otherwise violating the stated rules or academic integrity guidelines. Make-up tests that are terminated due to cheating or other policy violations will not be rescheduled.
• Students have five business days to complete a make-up exam. After five days, all make-up tests will be returned to the instructor.
• Your instructor must note any special accommodations prior to your scheduled appointment. The Make-up Testing Center is not authorized to provide special accommodations independently.
