Testing Accommodations

Student Access Services has created a college-wide testing request form and process. Faculty will fill out this form. Now more than ever, it is important that you communicate with your faculty about your testing accommodation needs at the start of the semester. If you have difficulty, please contact your SAS Coordinator .

Here is how the form and process will work:

1. Faculty request a need for a live proctor: Faculty Instructions for Academic Make-up Test & SAS Accommodated Testing - HACC Testing - LibGuides at Harrisburg Area Community College
2. Five days notice is needed to make proctoring arrangements.
3. Faculty will receive a confirmation email.
4. Students will need to log in to Accommodate to choose a testing time and location.
5. Information including steps and how to videos are available at here.

To serve all students at each campus location equitably, SAS accommodated exams with a reader and scribe proctor will occur with a remote HACC proctor. Students are able to come to Campus Test Centers and the HACC proctor will remote to the campus test center via Zoom. All proctoring arrangements are to follow the above proctor request instructions.
