NEW: Same / Next Day Make Up Testing Services

“Academic Tests - Same / Next Day Make Up” services are available only to those students who need to “make up” a missed exam right away. Appointments are required. Students who do not meet the criteria for make-up testing should schedule using the regular “Academic Tests” category instead.

IMPORTANT: To ensure a smooth testing experience and avoid unnecessary delays, instructors using the same / next day make up testing option should submit their test materials to the Testing Center before your student(s) come in.

INFORMATION FOR INSTRUCTORS

  • Submit your proctoring forms / test materials to the testing center at least 3 days (or more) prior to the student's test date.
  • After test materials have been submitted, your student may schedule their appointment online at http://www.registerblast.com/Kapiolani.
  • Appointments may be cancelled or re-scheduled if there are no test materials on file at least 3 days (or more) prior to student's test date.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

> How do I cancel or reschedule my test appointment?
Please contact the Testing Center by e-mail (kcctest@hawaii.edu) or call 808.734.9144 during normal business hours.

If cancelling, we need to know the appointment date and time that needs to be cancelled.

If rescheduling, we need to know what date and time you are currently scheduled for AND the new date and time you would like to be rescheduled to.

> What is your policy on time limits?
You (the student) are responsible for keeping track of your own time limit allotted for the test you are taking, and submitting and turning in your test when time has expired. There is a clock at the front of the room to help you.

> What is your policy on test security and monitoring?
Video surveillance cameras and computer monitoring software are in use and actively monitored to deter test misconduct. Please follow all instructions given to you by staff and proctors. You will be dismissed from testing, if during your test, there is observed use of any unauthorized material or electronic equipment.

PROCTOR U INFORMATION

Kapiʻolani Community College has an agreement with ProctorU to provide online proctoring services that may be more convenient for students. Some classes may offer this option of having tests proctored online at a small cost to the student.

The cost (per test) is based on THREE variables:

  • The length of the exam
  • The type of service (Auto or Live+) - which is determined by the instructor
  • How far ahead of time a student schedules their exam

Please contact your instructor to determine if this service is available for your course exams.
