ODA Testing Center at UNT Denton

To use ODA testing facilities, a student must be registered with ODA, request letters of accommodations for the current semester, and have approved test accommodations.  Whenever possible, students should arrange testing accommodations with the instructor early in the semester. If the student and faculty agree for the student to take their tests or quizzes in our Testing Center, then the instructor must login to the AIM Instructor Portal and complete an Alternative Testing Agreement (ATA) so that the student may schedule an exam in the ODA Test Center. Upon the instructor's submission of the ATA, the student will login to the AIM Student Portal and submit an ODA Test Request to schedule their exam.  Failure to follow ODA policies and procedures may result in a delay or denial of proctoring services through the ODA Testing Center.

Exam Day Procedures

Small lockers are available within the ODA Testing Center to store personal belongings not allowed in the testing rooms. Student are responsible for the following:

  • Bring any necessary testing materials as directed by your instructor (i.e. scantron, pencil, bluebook, calculator, etc..) The ODA does have generic scantrons and bluebooks, but may not have specialized materials or devices.
  • Review the ODA Testing Center Information on the ODA website & abide by the University's Academic Integrity Policy.
  • No books, papers, notes, backpacks, hats, hoods, caps, purses, smart watches, cell phones, tablets, or any other electronic devices will be allowed in the testing rooms.

  • Students must remain within the assigned testing room during exams. Students may leave to use the restroom during a test administration period, within reason. Students are not permitted to exit the building during an examination. If they do, this will be considered a violation of the University's Academic Integrity Policy and will be reported to your instructor.
  • If a restroom break is necessary, the proctor will retain the test materials. Student will be required to sign out when leaving and sign in upon returning to the test. Also. the proctor may escort student to and from the restroom to ensure test integrity.

  • Any testing aids that are not accommodation-related (such as use of textbooks, notes, calculators, tables, dictionaries, etc.) require written approval from the instructor in advance.
  • If a student is over 15 minutes late or misses a scheduled testing time (illness, childcare, transportation, etc.), it will require professor approval before it may be rescheduled in the ODA Testing Center.  It will be the student's responsibility to contact the instructor about rescheduling the exam. It is the instructor's responsibility to approve or deny rescheduling the student's test and inform the ODA Testing Center of their decision.  Testing Center staff may still require five business days' notice to reschedule tests in the Testing Center.
  • MISCONDUCT: Cameras and proctor walk-ins are utilized during testing. If a student is suspected of academic dishonesty (cheating), a report will be written and sent to the professor and the ODA Director.  Depending upon the situation, a Dean of Students Conduct Report may also be completed. A copy of the report will also be placed in the student's AIM file. The instructor will determine further actions to be taken. Academic dishonesty is a violation of the student code of conduct and may lead to suspension or expulsion from the university.
