Correspondence Testing

 

****
PLEASE NOTE: From May 1, 2008, through September 4, 2008, UTSA Testing Services will NOT schedule Correspondence exams at either campus.
****

 

Correspondence testing is offered to UTSA students and non-UTSA students who are taking academic courses at other colleges/universities and are required to have their exams (such as mid-terms and finals) proctored at a testing facility. The 1604 Testing Services office must be contacted at least three (3) weeks prior to any proposed exam date. The 1604 office will be providing this service on Tuesdays at 8:30 am.

Correspondence testing does not include exams that are to be taken for admissions requirements into a program or university.

 

How do I set up a correspondence test?

Call Testing Services and speak with a staff member at 210-458-4125 (1604) or 210-458-2941 (Downtown).

 

What information should I be ready to give Testing Services when I call?

The Testing Services staff will need to know:

• If you are a current UTSA student
• The institution the test is originating from along with a contact name and telephone number
• The type of exam (i.e. paper/pencil or computerized)
• How much time is allowed for the exam
• If there are any special accommodations
• A proposed test date (Testing Services requires at least three (3) weeks notice.)
  
  
  
  
  

What are my responsibilities once a tentative testing appointment has been set?

Once Testing Services has entered into a tentative agreement with a student to proctor an exam, it is the student's responsibility to make sure:

• The originating institution has mailed the exam to Testing Services. You or the originating institution must also provide a postage-paid envelope in order to return the completed exam.
• UTSA has received the exam at least five (5) business days prior to the exam date. If UTSA has not received the exam at least five (5) business days prior to the scheduled date, the exam is subject to rescheduling due to staffing obligations. This requirement applies to exams being sent by fax, mail, or electronic methods.
• To contact us once the exam has arrived to confirm the scheduled test time.
