The Assessment Center provides support to faculty when needed for students with testing accommodations and students with approved make-up exams. We also provide proctoring services for hybrid courses but it is limited to two (2) exams per class (i.e. Midterm and Final).

If you are teaching a fully online course, students should be allowed to test from home. However, students with technical difficulties or those who do not wish to test from home are welcome to test with us.   

General Guidelines:

• Faculty teaching traditional, face-to-face courses should only submit make-up exams or exams for students with special accommodations. Please work with your division office to arrange for a substitute during your absence on test day.
• Faculty teaching hybrid courses may send students, if needed, for proctored exams ONLY 2 times per semester. 
• Online students are NOT required to test in person. However, if they experience technical difficulties at home and wish to test in person, the testing centers at the main campus and Cypress Center are available. Please select individual students on the Testing Request Form in these cases. 
• Please inform your students that appointments are required! Those needing a private testing room due to an accommodation should schedule at least 48-72 hours in advance as space is limited. 
• Photo ID will be required on test day! 
• The Assessment Center will not administer any test without a completed Examination Request Form. All tests requests should be sent via your My Lonestar account. This is the best way to ensure we have the materials needed when your students arrive for their appointments.
• An exam request form must be submitted along with all exams and is available in the Faculty Center within your My LoneStar account. Instructions for submitting the exam request form can be accessed here: Request Form Instructions.  
• To prevent misunderstandings, please clearly state any and all testing guidelines/supplies allowed, along with the last date the test can be administered. We will supply scratch paper and a four-function calculator as needed. List your NAME, COURSE NAME AND NUMBER, and EXAM NUMBER at the top of each test so that test proctors can distinguish one test from another. Exams are not accepted via fax or from students.
• Instructors must indicate on the Examination Request Form how they would like their completed exams returned. Exams can be picked up, sent back via campus mail, or emailed. Email is the preferred method since we are testing in multiple locations on campus. 
• The Assessment Center will NOT accept or issue any non-testing materials such as syllabi, projects, homework, or take-home tests.
• The Assessment Center will notify the instructor of any issues or suspected cheating.
