CON Undergraduate Testing: Difference between revisions

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The University of Nebraska College of Nursing prepares students in a similar testing environment and style as the current licensure testing (NCLEX). Exams are computer based with no backward navigation enabled. This is a strategy for student success.</p>

     <li>   Exams will be taken on either a student’s device, a UNMC College of Nursing issued device, or at a campus testing site. For students testing on their own device, students must download and register their testing device within the UNMC specified exam/evaluation software. If there are difficulties in downloading the software, students are expected to work with technical support from the company to resolve issues prior to taking exams.  

               <li>If a passing score is not achieved, students will be required to meet with course faculty to review incorrect exam responses.</li>

              <li>Students have the right to seek clarification about exam items and must contact faculty within 72 hours after the completion of the exam.</li>

     <li>Make-up exams will be scheduled at the discretion of the course coordinator and will follow the guidelines published in the course syllabus.

               <li>An alternate exam format may include essay, short answer, and multiple choice. The test/exam shall be worth the same number of points as the original.</li>

     <li>Students are only allowed items needed for testing at their computer. Faculty reserve the right to inspect any items that are at the testing location with the student.

                     <li>No excessive attire is allowed during testing. Students must submit a written request for an attire exception to the assistant dean on the student’s division. Written documentation of the approved exception must be shared by the student with CON personnel as needed.</li>
