Academic Testing Services (ATS)

“The involvement of Testing Services has been incredibly helpful for us and our students!”
“Thank you so much for your help over this past term. The proctors...were so great and really made the testing process smooth and easy for our students.”

 

What is Academic Testing Services (ATS)?

PSU Academic Testing Services (ATS), a part of Student Academic Support Services within Academic Affairs, provides equitable and effective learning assessment and academic test proctoring support for PSU students and their instructors. We are committed to maintaining accessibility, integrity, and professionalism throughout all aspects of the test administration process. We prioritize accommodated exams for students registered with the Disability Resource Center (DRC), and we operate in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Proctoring for make-up exams is offered on a capacity basis, as we must continue to prioritize support for DRC-registered students and their instructors.

We strongly encourage faculty and students to connect at the start of each term and to submit all exam support requests to Academic Testing Services for the entire term.

Please note: PSU Academic Testing Services only provides exam proctoring for PSU faculty and their students.

Make-Up Exams for Non-DRC Registered Students

Starting Spring 2024, in an effort to expand our support for faculty, PSU Academic Testing Services has resumed offering limited support for make-up exams for non-DRC-registered students. This was discontinued during the heart of the pandemic, and we have been keen to resume it as soon as operationally possible. This is now offered on a capacity basis as we must continue to prioritize support for DRC-registered students and their instructors.
