Testing Service Request Form for
Distance Education Courses
The DE Office and the COS Testing Center (TTC) collaborate to provide testing services for
DE courses taught by adjunct professors and faculty who are remotely located. TTC is open
approximately 50 hours per week including some hours on Saturday and Sunday. Faculty
members create tests in Blackboard and make tests available to students using the Respondus
Lockdown Browser. Students have the flexibility of taking tests within a specified window of
time as determined by the faculty and TTC scheduler.
Adjunct and remotely located faculty interested in using TTC should complete and submit this
form to distance@gmu.edu at least three weeks before the start of the semester. Approval is
contingent upon the capacity and availability of TTC. Faculty may need to make slight changes
to their proposed schedules to avoid conflicts.
Important! Prior approval to use the center is required before sending students to the COS
testing center. Please provide your course roster at least one week prior to the first exam.
