Scheduling Accommodated Exams
Students wishing to take their assessments with CDAR Testing Services must schedule their exams with an Exam Scheduling Request via the CDAR Access Portal. CDAR Testing Services cannot guarantee testing space nor guarantee CDAR approved testing accommodations will be available for Exam Schedule Requests submitted after the respective deadlines. CDAR Testing Services encourages all students to submit their Exam Scheduling Requests as soon as possible. Instructions on submitting an Exam Scheduling Request can be found below. For questions or assistance please email cdar-testing@uidaho.edu.
Note: If the course is not listed to submit an Exam Scheduling Request, contact the course Exam Administrator (usually the instructor) to verify that Exam Proctoring Instructions have been submitted to CDAR Testing Services. Students are unable to submit an Exam Scheduling Request until Exam Proctoring Instructions have been received from the course Exam Administrator.
Exam Request Deadlines
All Exam Schedule Requests must be submitted no later than 7 calendar days PRIOR to the exam date, with the exception of final exams. The deadline to schedule final exams for the current term is April 18, 2025.
