• Instructor Procedures

1. The Center for Academic Excellence Testing Center services are for independent study students, students who are making up a classroom test with instructor permission, and students taking waiver exams for the College of Management. The center cannot be used for testing all students in a classroom-based course.
2. Open-book and/or open dictionary examinations that are not time-limited should be scheduled as take-home examinations.
3. Please supply the examinations and instructions at least one day before students can begin testing. Emailed exams and instructions are preferred. We will schedule student appointments when we have the test or your e-mail telling us when you will send the test.
4. Please complete all categories on the Testing Center Cover Sheet. Copies are available at the Testing Center Web site, in your New Faculty Orientation kit, and from the Testing Center staff on the Midway or the Minneapolis campuses. The form requires you to use your tech ID number, which is on the front of your university ID card.
   1. If you submit a paper or fax Cover Sheet with your test, your signature is required.
   2. If you submit your Cover Sheet electronically, you must attach both the completed cover sheet and the test(s) to an e-mail from your Metropolitan State University or other institutional e-mail account.  
5. Send tests and cover sheets:

Via U.S. Mail

Center for Academic Excellence Testing Center
Metropolitan State University
700 East Seventh Street
Saint Paul , MN 55106-5000

Via Hand-Delivery

Center for Academic Excellence Testing Center
Midway Campus (Mondays, Wednesdays, and some Saturdays)
Room O
Minneapolis Campus (Tuesdays and Thursdays)
MEC 2nd Floor

Please tell your student when they can schedule to take their test. They may call, stop in, or send an email to make a testing appointment as soon as the test is on file.

Please be sure to allow plenty of time for the test to reach the Center, so we can be ready when the student contacts us. Your students may find it helpful to have a copy of the cover sheet that you sent with their test; they will then understand both your expectations and those of the  Testing Center.

After your student completes the test, we will return the test via U.S. Mail to your current address on file at the university.
