Heartland Course Testing

Course Testing Appointments

Course Exams must be scheduled and completed by your instructor's deadline. Any exceptions require direct instructor approval, communicated to the Testing Center via phone or email. 

The student is responsible for scheduling their Course Testing appointments and ensuring they meet the test deadline. 

Be sure to consider your exam's time limit when booking your appointment, as all test materials and electronic tests are submitted promptly at closing time. For example, if your exam has a 2-hour time limit and you schedule a 4:45 p.m. appointment on a day the Testing Center closes at 6 p.m., you will only have an hour and 15 minutes for your exam. Course tests cannot be resumed on another day or taken in split sessions.

Arrival

Please arrive by the start time of your scheduled exam. Course exams are booked in 30-minute increments as each course exam differs in length of time as established by your instructor. For example, if you choose the time slot on June 2nd for 9:00-9:30AM, you are expected to arrive no later than 9:00AM and your exam will likely have a time limit of greater than 30 minutes. Late arrivals may not be permitted to test.

Please arrive for your appointment with the following: 

  • HCC ID Number 
  • Physical Photo ID

Attending your appointment confirms your understanding and acceptance of the listed Testing Center Guidelines.

Remote Testing 

Can't make it to campus to test for your online or hybrid course? Your Heartland Community College instructor may offer testing through the online proctoring service, Honorlock. Reach out to your instructor to see if they can make arrangements for you to test remotely through Honorlock.  

Alternately, you can find a testing center in your area to arrange a remote test, and have the exam returned to your instructor. Please note that various proctoring fees and scheduling requirements may apply at alternative testing sites. These arrangements must be made between the student, faculty member, and alternate testing location. The Testing Center is not responsible for the transfer of exam materials or collection of completed exam materials.  

 

 

Special Accommodations

Alternative testing is an appropriate service for many students with special needs. Testing accommodations for students with documented disabilities must be arranged by the student through the Student Access and Accommodation Services (SAAS) office. For more information on what documentation is required, contact Student Access and Accommodation Services at 309-268-8259.  

Students requiring extended time only for testing needs may complete exams during regular Testing Center hours. To test with a separate area, assistive technology, or other accommodations, please schedule an appointment with Student Access and Accommodation Services at least 48 hours in advance.
