Before you start…

Faculty, please read these notes before you start.

1. Students must book each test through the CAL Student Portal. All tests are tentatively booked until you approve the request as is or modify it.

2. Only supervised tests can be booked through CAL Test Services. For unsupervised tests, refer to the student’s letter of accommodation and apply their requested accommodations to the test. For tests in Brightspace, we have resources to help you make these adjustments.

3. Booking deadlines for students:

  • Tests/Quizzes – must be booked at least seven (7) days in advance.
  • *NEW* Midterms – all midterms/tests being written February 18 – 21 must be booked by Monday, February 3.
  • Final Exams – all exams/tests being written April 12-21 must be booked by Wednesday, March 19.

5. Please review and approve their request as soon as possible. CAL Test Services only requires the exam details — not the exam — by this deadline. You’ll receive an email for each student who has booked a test. It will include a link to the CAL Faculty Portal.

Important notes:

  • For each test with the same course code, section, date and time, respond to the first booking request as soon as possible
  • You don’t need to respond to all booking requests for the same test
  • Check booking requests one more time at least six days before the test
