Making up tests

At some time during the semester you may miss a test in one of your classes because of illness or other family emergency. Each of your professors has their own policy about what can be done to make up the test. Some professors do not allow make up testing at all. If you miss a test, it is simply deducted from your grade. But some professors allow you to take your test in The Testing Center.

If your professor allows you to take a test in The Testing Center, first arrange with him or her to send the test and instructions for taking it (the Test Proctor Cover Sheet) to The Testing Center.

Then use the orange button on the right hand side of this page to schedule your test. You may also call The Testing Center at 413 775-1821 if you prefer. Please request appointments AT LEAST 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE during business hours 8-5 Monday through Thursday and 8-4 on Fridays . We currently do not offer evening or weekend testing appointments.  All testers will be required to show an official photo ID at the time of testing.
