1. Please plan to arrive promptly 10 minutes before your exam and no more than 15 minutes before since proctors will be setting up the testing space. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the testing location in advance if you are not familiar with the area and building. If you arrive late for your exam, this will be noted in the CDAR portal to your instructor and that time will be deducted from your exam time – you will not get additional time added on the end.
2. Students are expected to arrive on time. If a student arrives late to the scheduled exam, their reservation will be held for up to 15 minutes with no adjustment for lost time. Arriving more than 15 minutes late will be considered a “No Show” and their exam reservation will be cancelled, and their professor notified. The student will either need to book another appointment for a future date (with instructor approval and if we have availability) or make other arrangements with your instructor. If you think you are going to arrive late for your testing appointment, it is important that you call us immediately at (208)885-9004.
3. CDAR is a fragrance-free environment, and this includes CDAR Testing. Please refrain from using scented personal care, laundry and cleaning products. Thank you for your consideration of others in providing an environment in which every person on campus can feel safe and comfortable.
4. On your testing day, you must bring a current, valid photo ID —If you do not bring a current, valid photo ID, you will not be able to take your test.
5. If your instructor has specified that you are allowed to use blank scratch paper during your exam, Testing Services will provide this; students are not allowed to use their own scratch paper.
6. No electronic devices (cell phones, smart watches, calculators, digital music players, calculators, etc.) are allowed in testing spaces other than those which are an approved accommodation and those that your instructor has told CDAR testing are allowed for the exam.
7. You will be required to store all items in a CDAR testing secured space exam except those explicitly approved by your instructor and/or CDAR. This includes noise-canceling headphones.
8. You will be asked to completely silence (no ring/beep/vibrate) all electronic devices present in the testing environment before your exam begins, including those devices stored in lockers or otherwise out of reach. Putting your device in airplane mode is typically the best way to accomplish this.
9. You may not leave the testing area during your exam with the exception of short bathroom breaks. Please use the restroom, pay for parking and address other non-testing related issues prior to starting your exam.
10. Only beverage containers with lids that completely close and seal to prevent spilling are allowed in the testing area and these should be open only while you are actively drinking from them. We may ask you to open the container so we can confirm that it contains a beverage and not disallowed materials.
11. You will not be allowed to take any exam materials with you after the exam—including exam questions and scratch paper—unless CDAR Testing has received explicit guidance from your instructor that this is allowed. If you would like to take any of the testing materials with you after your exam, please be sure to arrange this with your instructor ahead of time and ensure they have conveyed this agreement to CDAR Testing.

By testing with CDAR Testing, you acknowledge you have read and understand the policies and agree to abide by them in full.

When taking a restroom break during an exam, the student must take the exam to the proctor to secure until their return. The allotted time for the exam will not be adjusted. During restroom breaks, the student will continue to be held to the U of I Student Code of Conduct.

Students must abide by Article II, Section A-1 of University Of Idaho Student Code Of Conduct.

A-1. Academic Dishonesty. Academic honesty and integrity are core values at a university and the faculty finds that even one incident of academic dishonesty may merit expulsion. Instructors and students are jointly responsible for maintaining academic standards and integrity in university courses. In addition to any disciplinary sanctions imposed under the Code, additional consequences for academic dishonesty may be imposed by the course instructor, including issuing a grade of “F” in the course. Any grade issued by the course instructor, whether as a result of academic dishonesty or not, constitutes an academic evaluation and is not disciplinary action. All instructors must report incidents of academic dishonesty to DOS by email or using the reporting form on DOS website. Acts of academic dishonesty include but are not limited to the following:

a. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, the following:

(1) using any unauthorized assistance in, or having unauthorized materials while, taking quizzes, tests, examinations or other assignments, including copying from another’s quiz, test, examination or other assignment or allowing another to copy from one’s own quiz, test, examination or other assignment;

(2) using sources beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems or carrying out other assignments;

(3) acquiring, without permission, tests or other academic material belonging to the instructor or another member of the university faculty or staff;

(4) engaging in any behavior prohibited by the instructor in the course syllabus or in class discussion; or

(5) engaging in other behavior that a reasonable person would consider to be cheating.
