Booking a Test
Students can book out-of-class tests using the DRS student portal. Test bookings must be made at least 7 days in advance for mid-semester exams, and 14 days in advance for finals week exams. Testing is currently not available on Mondays.
Getting Started
- Log into the DRS Student portal. From the home screen, select the “Schedule a test or exam” module.
- Once selected, you will enter the test booking module. Select “schedule a test, mid-term or quiz” to get started.
- Read through the directions for the Online Testing Card. When you are ready, click ‘Next’.
Step 1: Select Course
- The first step is to select the course that you are requesting an exam for. Your courses will appear within a drop-down list. Click “Next” once you’ve selected your course.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have not sent your professor letters out to your faculty, you may not have access to the test booking module. Please make sure you’ve sent your letters out to your faculty using the DRS Portal “Professor Letter” module before you try to book your tests!
Step 2: Class Test Date and Time
- Indicate the date and time that you would like to take the test. You will also have to specify the duration of the class (for example, 50 minutes, 1 hour 15 minutes, or 2 hours 40 minutes).
- Please note that the date and time you enter here may not be the exact time you test at the DRS office.
Step 3: Confirm Instructor Information
- Enter the instructor’s name and email address, then click “Next.”
Step 4: Choose Accommodations
- On the “Choose Accommodations” screen, you can select which accommodations you want to have for your exam. At the bottom of the page, you have the choice of checking all or none of the boxes. Once you have selected the accommodations you need, click the ‘next’ button.
- Note: If you notice any of your accommodations are not listed, please contact the DRS office for assistance.
Step 5: Select a Date & Time
- The fifth step is selecting the date and time you will take the test at DRS. Select the time that works best for you.
Step 6: Confirm and Complete
- Finally, you will be asked to confirm your scheduled testing time and accommodations. If everything looks correct, then check the acknowledgement check-box, then click “Finish.”
- After clicking "Finish,” a confirmation message will appear that reads "Thank you for your submission." You have successfully scheduled your exam! If you need to schedule another test, there is a “Schedule another test” button on the screen that will restart the test booking module.
