In Case of Emergency

All computers in the testing rooms have battery backups. However, not all battery backups will stay on the same amount of time. If we lose power in the test center, please follow these procedures: 

• Contact Sharon or Kara email or call.
• Go into all the testing rooms to notify students to save their exam progress by hitting “Next” or “Save without Submitting.” Allow the students to keep working if they would like.
  • Everyone should stay in place (there will be emergency lighting). 
• Wait further communication from Sharon or Kara

• All students and staff must leave the building.
  • Follow the posted evacuation route for your location.
  • Make sure students save their exam progress by hitting “Next” or “Save without Submitting.” Do not need to log out, should not collect any belongings

  • Contact Sharon or Kara email or call when you get to safety. We will notify instructors regarding impacted students.
• Upon return
  • Check student ID, return to seats and continue exams.
