  2. If a professor decides the student is to take a test in the AS office it is the student’s responsibility to schedule his/her test by:

You will be required to sign a Test Taking Agreement for each test taken in ASC/Disability Services. It reads as follows:

I will NOT remove any testing materials from the testing room and NOT disclose (in whole or part) any exam questions to anyone who has not taken this exam. This disclosure includes anything in oral, written or electronic form. I also will NOT cheat any manner while taking this test. If I am seen cheating the incident will be reported to the appropriate professor. I recognize and acknowledge that violation of this agreement could result in disciplinary action including, but not limited to, the following penalties: suspension, expulsion, transcript annotations.
