Test Administration
Students should arrive a few minutes early and be prepared to start their exam at the identified time. Additional study time is not allowed, nor is additional time added for students arriving late, or for students who do not finish within the allotted time-frame.
Please refer to ODE's testing policies for more detailed information.
Test Scheduling
Students are responsible for scheduling their exams with the Learning Center by making an appointment at least 5 working days in advance for most tests.
For scheduling exams using modifications through DSS, please go to our Test Policies page.
For scheduling make-up exams, please contact Jimmy Kendall, Director of Student Success, (Jimmy.Kendall@mso.umt.edu); 406-243-7840.
The Learning Center adheres strictly to the instructor’s testing directions. Changes to a test appointment in writing by the instructor. Should a student miss a test, it is the student’s responsibility to make another appointment and complete all appropriate paperwork.
Academic Honesty
Any student observed using any unauthorized materials or resources during an exam will be reported to the instructor. The Learning Center has the right to stop an exam at any time if academic dishonesty is witnessed. Academic misconduct is subject to an academic penalty by the instructor and/or a disciplinary sanction by The 猎奇重口. View the Student Conduct Code for more detail.
For Faculty
Federal and State civil rights laws and University policy require that reasonable modifications must be provided to otherwise qualified students with disabilities. Reasonable modifications assure equal access to University courses and do not interfere with academic standards or freedoms.
For the convenience of instructors, the Office of Disability Equity in collaboration with the Learning Center, offers test modification services. Instructors may choose to provide modifications independently or through the ODE/Learning Center. If a resource such as a private testing room is not available as requested, students will contact instructors to make alternative arrangements.
Instructors may ask students for verification of the right to reasonable modifications. The ODE provides a letter of verification to students for this purpose. Exactly which modifications will be provided are a matter of negotiation between instructors and students with disabilities, and ODE serves as a resource for both parties.
Testing on the Missoula College UM campus is coordinated through the Learning Center. Jimmy Kendall, Director of Student Success, is the primary point of contact: Jimmy.Kendall@mso.umt.edu. 406-243-7840.
