Registration & Exam Submission Policies

3 Business Day Registration Policy

Students must register for exams at least three (3) business days in advance. This policy also applies to rescheduling exams without a “Reschedule Exam” accommodation. We are unable to accommodate late registrations. If you miss this three-day window, please reach out to your instructor directly to determine alternate arrangements to take your exam while still receiving your accommodations.

If you are unable to schedule your exam because the course does not appear on the list in RegisterBlast, the Testing Accommodations link is not present in your Canvas course, or it is a “Restricted Exam,” please contact your instructor directly. Please keep in mind that weekends are not business days.

Faculty Information

Paper Exam Copies & Digital Exam Access Codes (2 Business Days)

Instructors must provide all paper exam materials and access codes at least 2 business days prior to the scheduled exam. All exam materials (exam, access codes, memory aids etc.) must be uploaded to an exam submission via RegisterBlast. We no longer accept exam materials by email or drop-off.

If materials are not received, reminders will be sent. Missing materials may result in the exam being cancelled.

Accessible Exam Materials

Faculty are responsible for providing all exam materials in a format that meets each student's approved disability accommodations. This includes, but is not limited to, large-print exams (including diagrams and images), accessible digital documents, tactile graphics (when applicable), and any other approved alternate formats.

To ensure accommodations can be implemented appropriately, accessible exam materials must be uploaded to the corresponding RegisterBlast exam submission by the required deadline. The Werth Testing Center will make every effort to support faculty; however, responsibility for providing accessible instructional and assessment materials rests with the course instructor.

If you need assistance creating accessible course or exam materials, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Technology-enhanced Learning and Online Strategies (TLOS) through the Creating Accessible Learning Materials (CALM) program.

Providing accessible exam materials in a timely manner helps ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, while allowing students to fully utilize their approved testing accommodations without delay or disadvantage.
