TEST CENTRE BLACKBOARD PROCEDURES
IT’S FAST, CONVENIENT, SECURE AND EASY

The Test Centres will now accept Blackboard based exams by email.

What is required:

  • A valid Humber email address.
  • A completed Referral Form (see attached).
  • Referral forms must be received 48 hours prior to the exam date to be valid.
  • A secure password to access your exam through Blackboard.

Advise your students that they must make an appointment with theTest Centre at least two weeks prior to the testing date to ensure computer availability and the release of the exams.

Benefits:

  • No more paper copies.
  • No more misplaced exams.
  • Not necessary to deliver or pick up exams from the Test Centres as the student will be testing and submitting the exams online.
  • Exam security – exams are protected by Secure Browser.
  • Exams can be marked and graded online.
  • Control over exam deadlines – you will control what day and time your students will write.

Blackboard exams may be sent to the following email address:

TestCentreLake@humber.ca – Lakeshore Blackboard exams only
TestCentreNorth@humber.ca – North, Carrier and Orangeville Blackboard exams only

Students requiring accommodated testing in B113

Blackboard exams for students who require accommodation should be sent to the Disability Test Centre email addresses listed below.

Any exams for students who require an electronic copy (assistive software) as part of their accommodation should be sent to these addresses as well: dstestnorth@humber.ca, dstestlake@humber.ca ,or dstestcarrier@humber.ca. Please keep in mind that students who require a computer as part of their accommodation may not necessarily need an electronic copy. Please refer to the student’s booking form to determine whether an electronic copy is required (bottom left hand side of booking sheet). All exams must be submitted to the Disability Test Centres 48 hours prior to testing to be valid.
