Proctor Tips
Disability Center encourages instructors to provide accommodations within their departments when possible as it is beneficial for students and instructors.
How the Disability Center Can Help
Exam Administration Details Form
When students generate their accommodation letters, instructors will receive a request to submit their exam administration details. This form allows instructors to verify if they will be proctoring their own accommodated exams or if they need assistance from the Disability Center.
For faculty using the Disability Center, it also provides an opportunity to share administration details/requirements for accommodated exams being taken through the office (exam dates/times, allotted times, materials allowed, etc.).
Please provide the Disability Center this information as soon as possible so the Disability Center can assist students in arranging their exam accommodations.
Exam Updates & Corrections
Before the exam:Visit the Instructor Portal to update the attached materials. Before replacing an exam file, existing files must be cleared. Let the Disability Center know if new files need to be uploaded.
During: If the instructor finds an error in exam materials or needs to provide students taking the exam an update provided to the class, the instructor should email the correction to the Disability Center, which will print and distribute it.
***When emailing a correction, please draft a NEW email, stating in the subject line: “Exam Correction for __Insert Course__”***
Rescheduling: If a student needs to reschedule an exam, they will need to have email approval from the instructor prior to the reschedule date being approved. The instructor should email if they would like to provide an alternative exam version for the rescheduled date or if they will be administered the original exam.
Exam Delivery & Return
Instructors may upload their exams through the instructor portal in myAccess, email the exam files to mudcexams@missouri.edu, or drop them off to the Exams Office staff in S1 Memorial Union.
The Disability Center asks that instructors provide their exam at least 2-4 days in advance (at the very latest the business day prior to the exam) to allow sufficient time to prep materials for the student.
All completed exams will be returned via email, uploaded back into the instructor portal, or the instructor may come by and pick them up from the Exams Office 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday.
The Disability Center will have the completed exams ready for pick-up or download within two business days.
