DSPS Testing Room Rules
- Be on time.
- The only items allowed in the testing room are items that have
been authorized on your test form by the instructor and your Disabled Student Programs
and Services (DSPS) Specialist. Backpacks are not allowed. Students are expected to
enter the testing room with test materials only. All testing materials are subject
to inspection by the DSPS Support Staff before, during, or after the testing period.
Any support-testing material, e.g., three by five card, etc., will be collected at
the end of the testing session and returned to the instructor with the student’s test.
- Restroom breaks are permitted every two hours. Support Services'
staff must approve and escort all restroom breaks.
- Please be quiet. There is NO talking in the test room. If you
have a question, come out and seek assistance from DSPS Support Services staff.
If you are observed talking with another student, your test will be collected immediately.
- Water or coffee is allowed; food is not.
- Please be courteous to the other students. For example,
don't take up the whole table; pick up after yourself; push your chair in quietly
before you leave the test room, etc.
Please note the DSPS Alternative Testing Room
is under surveillance and is videotaped.
IF ANY EVIDENCE OF CHEATING IS OBSERVED:
- the exam will be stopped;
- all materials will be confiscated;
- the instructor will be notified immediately; and
- the matter will be turned over to the instructor for further action.
- DSPS Support Services Coordinator will file a Student Misconduct
Report with the Vice President of Student Services
The decision on a course of action is left to the discretion of the instructor
within established institutional policies.
Any violation of the Suspension of DSPS Services policy or the
Cuesta College Student Code of Conduct will be enforced. Suspension
of future testing accommodations will be determined following a review by the DSPS
Director, DSPS Support Services Coordinator, Instructor, and DSPS Specialist.
If testing accommodation is to be suspended, the student will receive
written notification. To appeal this decision, the student should meet with the
DSPS Director. The student may also file a complaint with the District 504/ADA Coordinator.
If at any point you are unclear about your exam instructions or conditions, stop
immediately and get assistance from a DSPS Support Services staff member.
