This process is NOT for students with testing accommodations – Accommodation Letters. If your student has an Accommodation Letter, they are required to book through Accommodate.
Process for faculty:
1. Visit the Missed and Makeup Testing Request form and select the campus to view available missed/makeup schedule. Please complete a separate form for each student testing (do not enter one form for multiple students). Please note, this form is to be completed by faculty only.
- Submissions will be accepted on this webform:
- If the test is online (e.g. MyCanvas)
- Faculty are able to provide an electronic version of the test
- Please complete a separate form for each student testing (do not enter one form for multiple students)
- For paper/hardcopy version of the test:
- Fennell Campus: Missed and Makeup request must be completed in-person (room A124)
- IAHS and Stoney Creek: please email the Testing Centre
Fennell Campus:
Tests must be submitted in advance for a missed/makeup week
(submissions close each Friday at 9 am for the following week)
Specific days/times can no longer be accommodated. Student walk-in testing will take place Monday – Thursday with start times between 9am and 1pm.
Students arriving outside of these testing hours will be asked to return or to contact their faculty
Stoney Creek and IAHS Campus:
Tests must be submitted in advance for a specific date and time
2. Provide your student with the test details and deadlines submitted as well as testing hours.
Inform students of the following:
- Scheduled date (IAHS/SC) or week, testing hours and location. Fennell Campus – A124, IAHS – 139, Stoney Creek – C106
- Photo ID will be required to test.
- Resources permitted – they must bring their own. The Testing Centre does not lend out equipment or materials.
- Faculty are to encourage students to come early as students may be asked to return or wait for a seat.
- Please ensure you are asking your student to self-monitor their health daily and do not come to Testing Centre if they are feeling ill
3. Once submitted, confirm you have received an email confirmation to the email address provided on this form. If you do not receive an email confirmation, your request did not go through. This would mean the Testing Centre would not have received your request either. Please resubmit the form.
Important notes for faculty:
- Accommodation Letters (AL): Missed or Makeup testing is not for students with Accommodation Letters and registered through Accessible Learning Services. In order for students to write with their accommodations, students must book their tests through Accommodate.
- This service is for students who missed tests in class due to a valid reason (e.g. illness, religious holiday, college-sanctioned activities, etc.) This service is not for challenge tests or rewrites or an alternate writing opportunity for the class. These must be arranged through the academic area.
- The Testing Centre will not contact the faculty for student questions or discrepancies. Please ensure the accuracy of all the information submitted – including resources permitted.
- Missed or Makeup testing will be unavailable during Final Exam week and limited during Midterm weeks as students with Accommodation Letters must be prioritized.
- All completed Missed and Makeup tests must be picked up from the Testing Centre.
Students will be referred back to the faculty if:
- If a test has not been provided, unavailable, closed/incorrect password or has surpassed the test deadline
- There are any discrepancies between the student’s understanding and what is submitted on the test request below (e.g. open notes, calculator permitted)
We ask faculty to confirm whether a student is able to write prior to submitting a test and to limit the number of tests submitted per week to 5 tests per week. If you have more than 5 students requiring testing at one time, please email alternativetesting.fennell [at] mohawkcollege.ca (alternativetesting[dot]fennell[at]mohawkcollege[dot]ca). The number of accepted tests per week is based on Testing Centre capacity.
