(MA 13700, MA 13800, MA 13900, MA 15800, MA 16010, MA 16020, MA 16100, MA 16200, MA 16500, MA 16600, MA 26100, MA 26200, MA 26500 and MA 26600)

  • Due to the increased number of students with testing accommodations, the Department of Mathematics proctors its own accommodated exams.

  • For certain types of accommodations, the exams will be administered through Purdue Testing Services.

  • If students have exam-related accommodations, Stephanie Foster will contact them in the first two weeks of class with instructions on how to schedule their accommodated exams. If they do not receive an email after two weeks, they should first search their email for "foster80" as the email may have gone to spam. If they do not have an email from Mrs. Foster, they should then contact her at foster80@purdue.edu.

Courses without common exams:

(All courses not listed above)

Instructors have two options for providing a student’s approved testing accommodations: either to provide the accommodations by themselves, or to arrange for the exams to be administered through Purdue Testing Services.

To utilize Purdue Testing Services (PTS) for accommodated exams, please follow these steps:

1.  Instructors must  add RegisterBlast as an external link in their Brightspace course  and submit a  Testing Instruction Form (TIF)  for each exam PTS will be administering.

2. Students must submit their exam request through the RegisterBlast link four (4) days prior to the exam date.  This is not exclusive to business days and will include weekends.  PTS cannot accept late requests. If the student does not meet the deadline, the instructor will need to administer the exam and provide accommodations.

3. Instructors must provide a copy of the exam or the password for the online exam to PTS no later than 12 noon one (1) business day before the exam is to be administered.

4. PTS administers the exam at the date and time requested by the student.

5. PTS returns completed exams within 24 business hours after testing according to the return method outlined in the TIF.

Instructors who don’t want to utilize Purdue Testing Services for accommodated exams, don’t need to follow the steps above.
