Centralized Accommodated Testing Spaces

Main Content

TCU is piloting Centralized Accommodated Testing Spaces to provide additional support to undergraduate and graduate students who are registered with Student Access and Accommodation and have a documented need for accommodated testing. 

Please Note: The Centralized Accommodated Testing Spaces are to be used only for students who are registered with Student Access and Accommodation and for who you have received a Faculty Notification of Accommodation. Reservations will be reviewed and any reservation made for a student without approved testing accommodations will be cancelled. Faculty will receive a notification 48 hours prior in order to make alternate arrangements. For more information, please email accommodatedtesting@tcu.edu.

The Centralized Accommodated Testing Spaces are located in Sadler Hall, rooms 122 and 123, and are open Monday, Tuesday, and Friday: 8:30am-4pm and Wednesday and Thursday: 8:30am-6pm.

The Centralized Accommodated Testing Spaces are available for use during the fall and spring semesters only. The Testing Spaces are not available for use during summer sessions.

Centralized Accommodated Testing Spaces for Spring 2025 are available beginning January 27, 2025.

Faculty: How to Make a Reservation for the Centralized Accommodated Testing Spaces

Tests can only be scheduled through the online reservation system. Faculty must reserve a specific start time, with no more than five students per section of a course at a time due to limited seating. You may need to stagger reservation times or schedule students at an alternate time to prevent overlaps. If accommodated testing involves an online test, faculty should choose that option at the top of the “Special Instructions” in the reservation system. Otherwise, the default is a paper test.

  1. Complete the online form, https://reserve.tcu.edu/TestCenters, also available on the Provost’s website under Faculty Resources.
  2. For students who require small group accommodations, please make that choice in the dropdown below for Small Group testing: Tuesday 9:30am - 2:30pm, Wednesday 12:00pm - 4:00pm, Thursday 9:30am - 2:30pm. Use of the small group space is reserved only for students who have been approved for this accommodation (as noted on their Faculty Notification of Accommodation).
  3. You will receive a calendar invitation as confirmation.
  4. Forward the calendar invitation to the student(s) to confirm the date, time and location of their reservation. It is the faculty member’s responsibility to communicate with the student the date, time, location and requirements for testing, such as timely arrival and the TCU photo ID requirement.
  5. Hand deliver exams and the PDF cover sheet from your calendar reservation to the Dean’s office (of your respective college/school) for pick up by 8:15 a.m., at least two days prior to the test date. There are no exceptions to this policy.
  6. Completed tests will be delivered to the Dean’s office (of your respective college/school) the day after the test is administered.
  7. NOTE: There will be no exceptions, last-minute changes or additions to the accommodated testing schedule. Faculty may not interact with proctors nor enter the test spaces. Any questions should be directed to accommodatedtesting@tcu.edu.

Students: Rules and Requirements 

Students must follow the rules below or the test will not be administered.

  1. Bring a confirmed reservation showing date, time and place. The calendar invitation serves as confirmation.
  2. Bring TCU photo ID for identification.
  3. Students should bring all approved materials required to take their exam (pens/pencils, calculator, etc.)
  4. Arrive promptly. Students who arrive more than 15 minutes late will not be allowed to take their test and must reschedule via their faculty member. Students who do not show up for their test must be rescheduled with their faculty member.
  5. Sign an honor code statement of agreement before the test is administered.
  6. Behave ethically. A student may be dismissed from the testing space for inappropriate behavior such as evidence of cheating, disrespecting the proctor or violating testing space policy. If a student is dismissed from the testing space, the faculty member and the Dean’s office will be notified when the test is returned.
