DS has developed a very systematic and secure procedure for getting exams from faculty and returning them once the student has taken the exam. There are very rigid checking in and checking out procedures for exams, and no student is able to take an exam with appropriate accommodations without authorization. While exams are at DS, they are kept in a locked file during the night. While students are taking the exam, they are monitored. Test taking rooms have windows to enable the staff to periodically view the students while they are taking tests. Occasionally, there are a few issues, however, DS works diligently to rectify any problems.
