Success Guide & Beginning Math Brouchures

Success Guides are available for students in developmental and introductory courses. If you want to distribute them in your class, plenty of them are available in LD 270, so please help yourself!

Math Department Testing Center

The Math Department Testing Center operates during the Fall and Spring semesters for administering make-up tests, when applicable. The schedule will be:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday, 8:00am
Tuesday & Thursday, 3:00pm

Please read the Math Department Testing Center policy below. As outlined, the instructor is responsible for submitting each make-up test to the department and an appointment receipt to the student. If these two items are not submitted, the student will be referred back to the instructor. If no time limit is specified for a test, the student will be allowed one hour and 15 minutes. Questions regarding the Math Department Testing Center should be directed to Dr. Watt (274-4070). Note: Without the approval of the Department Chair, our Commons Room cannot be used for make-up exams.

The Department has adopted the following policy for the use of the Math Department Testing Center, which is located in LD 265 at the above listed times. The policy applies to all instructors using the Center without exception. This policy is absolutely necessary, as the demand for using the Math Department Testing Center is great and space is limited. In this way we will be able to improve our services and assure a smooth and safeguarded system for proctoring make-up tests.

Math Department Testing Center Policy:

The instructor will issue a Testing Center Appointment Receipt to the student, which, along with a photo ID card, will be required in order for the student to take a test. Following the hours listed above and the instructions on the receipt, the instructor must indicate on the Appointment Receipt the specific date and time the test is to be taken. Please schedule make-up tests before the last week of the semester. Additional Appointment Receipts are available in our office.

• The instructor must keep the bottom half of the Appointment Receipt to attach to the test filed in the Math Office.
• Uncompleted tests will be returned to the instructor's mailbox.
• The staff has been instructed not to admit a student to take a test at a date other than the specified date on the card. If the student misses that test, it will be the instructor's responsibility to handle the rescheduling of the test.
• The test must be left in the folder labeled "Testing Center Make-Up Tests" in the front office by 5:00 p.m. the day before the test is to be taken.
• We ask that you please not put the staff in the position of having to make excuses if a test has not been left by the instructor for the student. Rather, the student will be told to contact the instructor.
• Instructors should inform students that they are required to bring their picture ID along with the appointment receipt with them to the Testing Center.
• No food, drink, or children will be allowed in the Testing Center. There are no facilities to accommodate children and the Department cannot be responsible for overseeing them.

Adaptive Educational Services (274-3241)

Adaptive Educational Services (AES) assists students with disabilities in achieving their educational goals through such services as note taking, interpreting, and reading. AES informs faculty members of documented students with disabilities and administers quizzes and tests for those students. AES requires the student to furnish forms for the signature of the instructor. On these forms the instructors can specify test timing and delivery policies. Please help identify those students in your classes who may need help and advise us of any problems. AES students often take tests outside class time. AES staff administers those tests.

Please deliver any test for an AES student to the Math Department front office by 3:00 pm the day before the test is to be taken. AES will return the test to the Math Department front office the same day, if possible, or the following day, if the test was taken late in the day or in the evening. Once the test has been returned to the office, it will be placed in your mailbox. Please address any problems or concerns related to AES to Dr. Jeff Watt.

Mathematics Assistance Center (MAC)

The IUPUI Mathematics Assistance Center (MAC) is located in UC 102, on the first floor of the University College building. The MAC is typically open seven days a week, whenever the building itself is open. Tutoring for all courses (through differential equations) is available during most of these hours, including weekends. The schedules for these and other programs and services may be found on the MAC home page. Instructors are encouraged to reserve the faculty area for holding office hours and/or group consultations. For more information or reservations, please contact Tim Pierce, Director, at 274-0289 or Amelia Leake, Receptionist/Secretary, at 274-7898.
