    • Check your Bellevue College email for updates about your exam appointments.
  • Exams need to be completed by the scheduled end time.
  • Written instructor approval is required to schedule exams outside of class time.
  • Exams must be taken in same format as the class (online vs. in-person).

  • Only materials indicated by the instructor are allowed in the Testing Center.
    • Non-testing materials, including all smart devices, must be put in a locker.

Exam appointments for finals must be made 15 business days in advance. We will email reminders for scheduling final exams every quarter. If you do not schedule your final on time, you may need to take your exam in the classroom without accommodations.

Due to space limitations, some DRC final exams will be proctored in alternate locations. These locations will still meet your accommodation needs, and we do our best to reduce distractions. Your final exam reminder email will include your testing location.

All students are expected to abide by BC’s Student Conduct Code

  • Academic Dishonesty (aka cheating) will not be tolerated.
  • Academic Dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, and fabrication.

  • All testing is monitored and recorded by closed-circuit cameras and computer-screen monitoring software.
  • All incidents of potential academic dishonesty will be documented and reported to your instructor and the office of Student Care and Community Standards, who oversees the Student Conduct Code.

If there is suspicion of academic dishonesty:

  • The proctor or other DRC staff will approach you and remove any materials that you are not allowed to use on your exam.
  • Your exam will be marked to indicate the items you have worked on with the unapproved materials.
  • Screenshots or video clips from our closed-circuit cameras may be added for verification.
  • Your instructor will be sent an email explaining the situation and a report will be submitted to Student Care and Conduct.
  • Your instructor will determine what action will be taken regarding the exam.
  • A student conduct officer will decide as to whether to pursue a conduct case separate from the classroom.
