Information from OEA

Important Information about Scheduling

The OEA Testing Center will be using block scheduling for all testing appointments.  These blocks will allow for the double time accommodation (as well as the additional time necessary to disinfect between testing sessions). 

  • Due to the limited number of seats in the Testing Center, reservations will be handled on a first come, first serve basis.

  • Students will only be permitted to test for the amount of time their accommodation provides, they will not be able to test beyond their double time length. The remaining time in the reservation block will be used for disinfecting the testing area.

  • Students are permitted to leave before the end of their reservation time / once they are done testing, unless an instructor has stipulated they need to stay.

  • Students will be asked to leave the Testing Center once their double time has elapsed OR their reservation appointment has ended.

  • OEA will provide students with the materials necessary to sanitize their testing area. 

    • Students are expected to wipe down their own workstation before and after completing their quiz/test.

  • It is each student’s responsibility to show up at the time of their scheduled reservation.  

    • OEA cannot guarantee that a student will be able to begin before their reservation time if they arrive early.  

    • If a student arrives late they may either have to reschedule, after consulting with their instructor, or they will forfeit some of the double time if OEA is able to allow them to begin.
