# Testing Procedures for Faculty

Faculty are to submit testing for their students to write at the Test Centre using the Test Centre's online test / exam registration platform \(RegisterBlast\).

After Faculty have submitted testing, if students intend to write at the Test Centre, they must schedule their test/exam date **no later than 2 days \(48 hours\) before** the test date. Students cannot register for testing until their instructors have submitted testing through the RegisterBlast system.

- Faculty must submit testing through RegisterBlast no later than **3 days \(72 hours\) before** a test date.
- The Test Centres invigilate testing for accommodated students and missed or rewrite tests / exams.
- The Test Centres do not accommodate class testing.
- If indicated on the test submission, Test Centres will provide examination booklets and Grademaster/Scantron cards for testing.
- The Test Centre cannot invigilate a test/exam without a provided submission and instructions as this confirms that students are permitted to write in the Test Centre and ensures that the Test Centre administers the exam/test to your specified instructions. \(**Please note**: the Test Centre does not allow the use of electronic dictionaries\).
- Faculty must submit testing through the RegisterBlast system. Do not send tests through email.
    - Students do not have access to submitted test/exam copies provided through the RegisterBlast system - only Test Centre staff have access to testing materials.
    - Test Submission names should **NOT** include full student names. If needed, include the last 4 digits of a student's Seneca ID number.
- View the [Forgot Test Submission](https://employees.senecapolytechnic.ca/spaces/248/testing-procedures-for-faculty/wiki/view/18973/forgot-test-submission "Forgot Test Submission") guide for more information if an accommodated student's test was not submitted to the Test Centre before the student's arrival.
- Do not activate Respondus LockDown Browser when setting up Blackboard tests for students who have assistive technology testing accommodations. Respondus LockDown Browser is not compatible with assistive technology.
- An invigilator's report will be completed if a student is found to be writing a test/exam in a manner not specified by the provided submission instructions, i.e. unauthorized materials.
- The Test Centre will follow [Seneca’s academic integrity policy.](https://www.senecapolytechnic.ca/about/policies/academic-integrity-policy.html)
