Appointments for Finals are now available! As a reminder, finals are for students with accommodations only. We highly encourage students with accommodations that are taking tests at the Testing Center for finals to go ahead and schedule their appointments now! Make sure to schedule for the full length of the exam.
Consistent with our institutional values of integrity, inquiry, collaboration, service and humility, the Belmont University Testing Center supports students and faculty in the assessment of student knowledge. The Testing Center's primary mission is to provide a secure, distraction-reduced space for Belmont students with accommodations. We also serve as a space for retests and missed tests in a limited capacity. All testers must be enrolled at Belmont and sitting for exams given by Belmont faculty and adjuncts.
As our sole function is to provide a safe and secure space, any question or need regarding accessibility scope (i.e. scribes, readers, documentation, etc.) goes through our Office of Accessibility Services. You can contact their office at accessibility.services@belmont.edu.
As you schedule for exams and finals, please keep in mind that accommodations do not supersede attendance in your other classes nor our posted hours. You must attend all classes unless discussed with your professors before hand, and we will close at 5PM regardless of time left in accommodation. Students are responsible for scheduling their testing appointment with enough time to complete their exam before the Testing Center closes AND before their next class begins when testing between classes. This responsibility applies regardless of approved testing accommodations or extended testing time. Again, extended-time accommodations do not extend Testing Center operating hours or override a student’s class schedule.

Faculty and staff do not have access to the TracCloud system, the appointment must be made under the student's account. Appointments can be made using our TracCloud system before 48 hours and up to a month in advance. Appointments are not required during the semester, as we will have space for walk-ins, but if you are nervous about having a spot, please consider making an appointment in advance. Appointments WILL BE REQUIRED for finals, so make sure to make your appointment for those as soon as possible. Also, during finals, you must have university approved accommodations to use the Testing Center.
To make an appointment, log into belmont.traccloud.com using your Belmont student credentials. Click on Scheduling a Testing Appointment, and select your class and your reason. Time options will pop-up, and select a time that works for you and your professor. You should receive an email with an Outlook calendar invite with your appointment details once the appointment is made.
Please note: you still will need a Student Information form, even if you make an appointment!

Examinees will only be allowed to enter the Testing Center on the :10, :30, and :50 of every hour. Please arrive at least 10 min before your appointment to ensure a smooth check-in. If you are a walk-in, please try to arrive 30 min before your desired test time to work out availability.
If you are taking an online exam, you must use our laptops. Please have your phone available for two-factor authentication into Canvas. Be aware that you will be asked to turn your phone off and place your phone into one of our Faraday bags after check-in and signing in for the duration of the exam.
Please keep in mind that readers, text to speech software, scribes, or any other specific items needed for testing beyond a proctor, distraction reduced environment, and time must go through Accessibility Services. The Testing Center is unable to provide scribes or readers.
Appointments for finals can now be made using TracCloud, using the same process for regular appointments. Appointments WILL be required during finals, and no walk-ins will be allowed.
Only students with accommodations will be allowed to use the Testing Center during finals. If you are scheduling a make up test and you do not have university approved and registered accommodations, you must take your test with us before finals begin or work with your professor for other options.
Please confirm when making the appointment to schedule for the appropriate length of the exam. The default appointment will be an hour, but the university standard length is 2 hours. Please be mindful of that when you make your appointment!
