What is Academic Testing Services (ATS)?
PSU Academic Testing Services (ATS), within Student Academic Support Services in Academic Affairs, provides equitable and secure exam proctoring in partnership with PSU instructors. ATS proctors exams on behalf of instructors, follows instructor-provided exam guidance, and administers assessments based on this guidance to create an accessible and accessible testing experience. ATS is committed to supporting faculty and students by providing reliable proctoring services when requested. We prioritize accommodated exams for students registered with the Disability Resource Center (DRC), uphold academic integrity and professionalism, and operate in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Make-up exam proctoring is offered on a capacity basis, as support for DRC-registered students remains our priority. (See below)
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.
