Students: Schedule Your Exam
Note, the Testing Center only administers tests and quizzes to SUNY Purchase students who are registered with the Office of Disability Resources and have approved testing accommodations.
Accommodate will not show available spaces if you are attempting to schedule an appointment less than 72 hours before your test. If you are trying to make an appointment less than 72 hours (3 days) before your test, you need to contact the Testing Center directly by emailing us at testing@purchase.edu.
Follow the steps below to schedule your exam.
-
Log in to Accommodate using your SUNY Purchase user name and password.
-
Click on the “Testing Room” tab located at the top of the page. If this tab isn’t visible, this could mean that you need to renew your academic accommodations. Otherwise contact the Office of Disability Resources for assistance.
-
Click on the “New Test Accommodation Appointment Request” button, located toward the bottom of the screen.
-
Select the course you have your exam in from the “Course” drop-down menu. The page will then reload.
-
Specify whether this exam is a Final Exam. If the exam is the same as the class length, proceed to the next step. If you are booking an exam/quiz that is shorter than class time, click on “Click here to select test length”. Ignore the “Building” box and select “Yes” below it so you can specify how long the class receives for the exam/quiz. Your extended time will be added automatically.
-
Click on “Next Step” and then go to the second step to select the date for the exam. If you are looking to schedule an appointment within 72 hours, you will not be able to do so on Accommodate. Please email testing@purchase.edu or call us at 914-251-3993 during our working hours of 9 AM – 4:30 PM.
-
Now go to the third step and click on “Student Services Building” to select the time. You won’t be selecting a space as all exams occur in the same building. Once you click “Request” on the time you want to start the exam, a pop-up window will appear.
-
On the pop-up window, use the “Alternative test date or time approved by your Professor” section to let the Testing Center know that you have received permission from your professor to take the exam on an alternative date or at an alternative time, if this applies.
-
Please note: Students are expected to take a test/quiz at the same time and date as the class. Alternate test dates and times can be requested but must be approved by your professor. Possible reasons a student may need to take their test/quiz at a different time than the class may include having back-to-back classes or having an evening course that occurs after the Testing Center closes at 4:30 PM.
-
Select your approved accommodation(s) you intend to use for this exam using the drop-down menu. You may provide the Testing Center with additional information regarding your exam by entering comments into the “Notes” section.
-
Click ‘Submit Request’ to finish submitting your exam booking request. You will then see your request listed underneath ‘Pending Test Accommodation Appointment Requests’. When the request is approved, you will see it listed underneath ‘Approved Test Accommodation Appointment Requests’.
