Testing Procedures for Faculty | Testing Procedures for Faculty | Seneca Polytechnic

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 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.
