All students who use the Academic Support Testing services must adhere to the following testing policies:  

1. BEGINNING SPRING 2003 students must present a clear photo ID (a Hawkeye ID or a driver’s license) every time they test.  No exceptions will be made to this policy.

2. The testing supervisor will provide scratch paper or additional blank sheets of paper for testing.  Students need to bring calculators, answer booklets, pencils, or other materials specified by the instructor.

3. The testing supervisor will not change or amend an instructor’s testing instructions.  Only the materials - calculators, notes, textbooks, etc.- approved by the instructor and checked off on the testing slip will be allowed in the testing room. 

4. Other students are not allowed in the testing room while a student is testing.

5. Students are not allowed to leave the testing room once they have begun testing unless they have a documented medical condition that warrants testing breaks.  Students need to provide ASC testing staff with the necessary documentation before they begin using testing services.

6. Cell phones are not allowed in the testing rooms.

7. Students may not take purses, any type of backpack, outer wear such as coats, jackets, hats, mittens and gloves into the testing room.  The testing supervisor has the authority to make on-the-spot and case-by-case decisions about any items that seem inappropriate for students to take into the testing room.

8. Students who are caught cheating will be suspended from future testing opportunities until disciplinary actions have been determined.  The instructor will be notified immediately and all testing materials will be returned to her/him.

3.)  If you are in   Col Alg, Trig, or Calc I, a series of videotapes is available for checkout from the Math Lab.  These videotapes contain lessons that accompany our text and follow the format and style of the text.

4.)  Spend time every day on the homework problems, becoming proficient with your calculator and reviewing your notes.  You will be able to ask questions for clarification the next class so you are ready for the next lesson.  This will also eliminate the need to “cram” for a test or quiz.

5.)  Attend class.  There is no substitute for this.
