Faculty Guidelines

The Assessment Center offers makeup test proctoring services to AVC faculty and students at both the Lancaster main campus and Palmdale Center. Makeup exam services are designed for students who miss their regularly scheduled exams due to extenuating circumstances. Makeup exams are provided at the discretion of the instructor.

Lancaster makeup exams are given on a walk-in basis Mondays through Thursdays between 7:30 am – 6 pm, and Fridays between 7:30 am – 11:30 am.

Palmdale makeup exams are by appointment only. After submitting this form, please inform your student to contact Palmdale Student Services at (661) 722-6300, ext. 1905.

Please note, makeup exams should be submitted at least 24 hours prior to the deadline you establish when submitting this form. We cannot guarantee same day makeup test proctoring services.

Makeup exams will not be administered during FINALS WEEK. We will administer makeup exams the week(s) leading up to and the week after FINALS. Please take that into consideration when determining your student’s makeup exam deadline.

Students must present photo ID when checking-in to take a makeup exam. Internet access is available for students taking online exams. Exams will be given until the deadline you provide. If the deadline needs to be extended, please contact us to request a date change.

Makeup exam services are not intended for students receiving testing accommodations. Students registered with OSD Alternative Testing accommodations must schedule exams (including makeups) with that department in order to receive the appropriate services.

Special Notice: The Assessment Center does not proctor group makeup exams. We do not have the staffing or capacity to proctor entire classes.
