Description
Testing Center Appointment Sign up Form
After communicating with your instructor about using the RBC Testing Center to take your test/exam, please sign up for an available time slot.
Testing Center requests should be made at least three (3) business days before the day you plan to take the test or exam.
The purpose and function of the Richard Bland College Testing Center is to serve all students who require testing services for any of the following reasons:
- Academic accommodation (such as extended time for testing or testing in a reduced-distraction environment)
- Make-up examination with permission from the instructor (absence due to emergency, medical leave, an approved college-sponsored extracurricular activity, etc.)
- Proctored exam for online students required to take exams on campus.
Students are responsible for following all instructions on the exam and will assume any penalties that may result from misunderstandings and misinterpretations.
Students are bound by the Richard Bland College Honor Code; students suspected or found cheating will be reported to the instructor and the Student Conduct Coordinator.
The RBC Testing Center staff may not answer any questions about the content of the exam.
The RBC Testing Center will request contact information for each instructor during the exam, and will attempt to contact the instructor should a question arise that is specific to the exam.
