Make-Up Test Policy

Resources » Testing Services » Make-Up Test Policy

By appointment only with the Instructor's approval.  

Questions? Email testing@Northeaststate.edu.

The Testing Center can accommodate any student who is unable to test in the classroom because of an accident, illness, or other excused absence from class. Students must have their instructor's permission before scheduling a test date. There are open computer labs with Respondus on the computers at each campus location for online class exams missed.  The Testing Center can proctor paper-based and computer-based tests. However, the Testing Center cannot:
  1. Accommodate entire classes,
  2. Proctor tests for students who wish to raise their grade, or
  3. Proctor tests for students who just did not show up on the day of their exam.

Make-Up Test Scheduling Information

Students:  Make-Up testing is available weekly on the Blountville campus. If you don't see a time that works with your schedule, or if you need the Kingsport campus, please email testing@NortheastState.edu. There is no charge to take a Make-Up exam. First, make sure your instructor has approved your absence for a Make-Up exam in their class. Your instructor must enter your test information before you can schedule an appointment. Schedule an appointment by clicking the "RegisterBlast" link on your D2L home page.

                                                               Photo ID is Required to Test

Instructors who would like a student to complete a paper or computer test in the Testing Center due to an excused absence should: 

  • Professors will submit requests for make-up exams for their students through the RegisterBlast link on their D2L home page.
  • If the test is paper, the Testing Center will print off the exam once the student has a scheduled test time. Completed exams will be scanned and emailed to the instructor through RegisterBlast.
  • The Testing Center staff will not be responsible for picking up or delivering exams to instructors.
  • The option will still be available to drop off tests at the Testing Center - in the box or in-person.
  • Unclaimed paper exams will be destroyed at the end of each semester.
  • Testing times will be limited to the course time block (no untimed tests or extended time). Students who qualify for extended time and/or other approved testing accommodations should contact Accessibility Services to schedule the test in the Accessibility Services office.

For more information, please contact Melissa Ramsey, Coordinator of Testing Services, in Room C2301 of the General Studies Building on the Blountville campus. Call 423-354-5358 or email testing@NortheastState.edu.
