Faculty have three responsibilities surrounding the test administration in the Testing Center:

  • Complete the Alternative Testing Agreement
  • Review Student's Testing Center Appointment Details, and
  • Upload the Test.

Login and Complete Alternative Testing Agreement (ATA) in AIM

Faculty can complete the testing agreement in 1 of the 3 ways:

  1. Using the link provided in the Letter of Accommodation email;
  2. Using your UNT credentials to access the AIM Instructor Login & selecting “Alternative Testing” section on the left-side; or
  3. Using the link provided in the "Student Exam Appointment Pending email notification" email instructors receive from the ODA Test Center when the student's testing appointment is approved. 

Review Student's Testing Center Appointment Details

If a student submits a request for his/her test to be administered in the ODA Test Center, faculty will receive a confirmation e-mail from the ODA with a subject line “[ODA] Please Review Student's Test Appointment”. The reminder serves two purposes:

  1. To make instructors aware that the student has scheduled his/her test and to give instructors an opportunity to review the request to ensure the day/time is agreeable. If the instructor disagrees with the student's appointment time, he/she must immediately notify the Testing Center.
  2. To request that a copy of the exam be sent to the Test ingCenter. Tests can be submitted by clicking on the link within the reminder email to UPLOAD your exam.

Uploading your Exam/Quiz

  1. Instructors are responsible for sending a copy/copies of their exam to the Testing Center preferably at least two days prior to the test administration. This is necessary to give the Testing Center time to assign an appropriate number of staff such as proctors, readers, or scribes; prepare exam materials' envelope; and convert the exam to an alternative accessible format, if necessary. This can be done by clicking on the link within the confirmation email to UPLOAD your exam.
  2. Send test instructions via the “Notes” section when UPLOADING the test. (**ONLY NEEDED IF UNIQUE FROM TESTING AGREEMENT INSTRUCTIONS**)
  3. ​Updating your Alternative Testing Agreement.  There are times that instructors must make updates to the information included in their Testing Agreements.  Please follow the instructions found at this link: Updating your Alternative Testing Agreement.
