Student Athlete Exam Proctoring (Updated 9/24/2024)
Gonzaga student-athletes occasionally miss exams and quizzes while traveling for competition.   Faculty are free to address these missed assessments at their own discretion. When faculty are unable or unwilling to proctor make-up exams themselves, the Testing Coordinator for Athletics (TCA), Professor Ryan Herzog (Economics), is available to facilitate a make-up assessment in a secure environment. The testing coordinator will only proctor in person exams. Remote proctoring is not available.

Information for Faculty Members
  • Student-athletes are responsible for communicating with faculty members regarding their absences due to team travel and competition.  You can help by working with them to identify the most appropriate time and place for making up missed assessments.
  • If you are able to handle make-up exams and quizzes yourself, please continue to do so.  This service is offered to help faculty who are unable to facilitate make-up assessments on their own.  It is not intended to change what most faculty have been doing in this regard.
  • Student-athletes with disability accommodations related to testing will continue to utilize the services of the university’s Academic Testing Center.
  • After a student-athlete schedules a make-up assessment, Professor Herzog will send a confirmation email to both the student-athlete and the faculty member. This email will also include a form for the faculty member to stipulate the conditions for the assessment (e.g. time allotted, resources allowed, return instructions). The faculty member should plan to email or drop off the assessment to Professor Herzog the day before the scheduled make-up. Note that the preferred option is uploading the exam to the google form. The evening prior to the make-up session, Professor Herzog will confirm receipt of the assessment, test conditions, and return instructions with the faculty member.
  • Professor Herzog will return a scanned copy of the assessment to the faculty member within 24 hours of completion. Additional return instructions can be specified in the form sent out to faculty.
  • For added security, all make-up sessions will be video recorded. 
 
Information for Student-Athletes
  • Student-athletes are responsible for communicating with faculty members regarding their absences due to team travel and competition.  If an athletically-related absence requires you to miss a scheduled exam or quiz, you should work with your faculty member well in advance of the scheduled absence to identify the most appropriate time and place for making up the missed assessment.
  • Student-athletes with disability accommodations related to testing should continue to utilize the services of the university’s Academic Testing Center.
  • If your course instructor is able to accommodate the make-up exam or quiz him/herself (e.g., in office hours), please go that route.  If not, you may ask your instructor about taking the exam with Professor Herzog, the Testing Coordinator for Athletics, as described below.
  • Step 1: Try to work with the course instructor to schedule a make-up exam.
  • Step 2: If you are unable to schedule a make-up exam with your instructor, please consult the TCA schedule to find a time that works for you and is acceptable to your instructor. Exams must be scheduled 48 hours in advance.
  • Step 3: Please submit a meeting request, through the link above, to hold an exam time. Professor Herzog will confirm the exam time within 24 hours.
  • Step 4: If you are unable to find a time that fits your schedule, please send an email to tca@gonzaga.edu to schedule an alternate exam time. In the email please include:
    • Your availability (days and times) and length of the exam.
    • Course number/name, instructor’s name, and instructor’s email address.
    • Date and time your instructor needs the exam completed.
On the day of the exam:
  • Exams will be proctored in Professor Herzog's office, Jepson 235. Please arrive five minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Be sure to have your student ID or government issued ID and approved testing material. Professor Herzog will provide scrap paper (if allowed). You are responsible for bringing approved electronic devices.  The TCA does not provide calculators.
  • Upon entering the testing center, you will check your backpack and unapproved electronic devices (including cell phones and smart watches) with Professor Herzog.
  • All exam specifications are determined by the course instructor and will be followed in the testing center.
