The OEA testing center is open from 8:30 AM-5:30 PMÌýMon-Fri during the fall and spring semesters, and 8:30 AM-4:30 PMÌýduring the summer semester.
OEA will not administer tests on a walk-in basis.
Instructors are not responsible for providing quizzes, tests, or exams to the Office of Educational Accessibility without receiving an official Test Request from OEA.
Any testing that requires an in-person proctor can be scheduled online. Once you complete the form and submit it, you will receive an email receipt.
If you are taking your test online outside of the OEA testing center, you should contact your instructor directly to ensure your time is extended in the learning management system that you are required to use.
You will have a maximum of double time, per your accommodations, to complete the test. Please ensure that you schedule to begin taking your test early enough that you can complete it by the time the office closes.
For test integrity purposes your test request reservation should be at the same time as the class time unless you have another class that conflicts with your double time.
You must communicate with your instructor prior to choosing a time to register online to ensure that they approve of the date/time you choose.

If your final exam is not listed in your class syllabus, please visit theÌýODU Exam Schedules pageÌýto view the current semester final exam schedule.
If your instructor is giving a final exam prior to finals week, you will need to submit a regularÌýTest Request Form, following normal testing procedures.
Final Exam testing begins at either 8:30 AMÌýOR 12:30 PM.
We use two specific start times to accommodate your 6 hours and to help control the amount of traffic flow in the Testing Center. This information will be conveyed to your instructor in the test request letter they receive.
If your final exam is scheduled before 12:30 PM, choose 8:30 AM. If your final exam is scheduled for any time after 12:30 PM, choose 12:30 PM. Our office will close at 6:30 PMÌýeach day.
Due to time constraints, we do not recommend you take more than one final per day. You are responsible for making sure that you receive your accommodation of up to double the time. Discuss with your instructors an alternative day when you do not have another exam scheduled. If you feel you may be able to complete two final exams (not recommended) in one day, please discuss this with the Coordinator of Testing before submitting your requests.
Bring any class materials which are permitted to complete the exam. Our office will supply scratch paper, basic calculators, pencils, erasers, earplugs, blue scantrons, and green scantrons.
If you miss the deadline to submit your request online, you will have to call or email theÌýCoordinator of Testing. You must provide the office with the same pertinent information used in the online form.
