Submitting a Request

- Click "Test Proctor Request" in the left hand menu
- Click "New Test Proctor Request" at the bottom
- Select the Course for which you are requesting an exam, click "Next Step"
- Select the exam date – either the same as the class or as close to the class as possible
- If DSS sees that you have the ability to take a test closer to the rest of your class, we will move your request and you will be notified
- If you cannot test at the new time, you are required email your professor and cc cua-dsstesting@cua.edu to receive written approval from your professor to test at a different time.
- Select a time slot that does not compete with another class
- Complete the required fields in the "Test Proctor Request Details" pop-up

After Submission
Students can track the status of their Test Proctor Requests through Accommodate.
- PENDING BOOKING REQUESTS - successfully submitted and received by our office.
- APPROVED BOOKING REQUESTS - checked to ensure that the date/time requested does not interfere with other courses.
On the Day of Your Exam
- Students must place all of their belongings in a secure locker outside of our office.
- Students must provide their own testing tools that have been approved by the professor (i.e. non-graphing calculator, laptop, etc.).
Comprehensive & HESI Exams
- DSS will assist with Comps/HESI proctoring on a limited basis this semester.
- Any student who would like to request DSS proctoring for Comps/HESI must submit their request at least 30 days in advance for consideration. DSS will work with your faculty and/or dean to determine whether DSS can provide proctoring.
