If you completed the intake form without uploading your documentation, you can submit it via the Student Files section of ClockWork or we will accept your documentation in hard copy, faxed, or emailed. Please refer to the guidelines about How to Register with LSS or ADS.

If you are unclear about a test question, we can contact your professor via phone or email. If we are unable to reach the professor, you can explain in writing what your question is and that will be returned to the professor along with the test or exam. It is the professor's decision on how to handle your question(s) and how it impacts your test grade. You will not be permitted to leave the testing room to speak with your professor in person or complete the test at a different time.
LSS and ADS will continue to operate separate offices, provide students with disabilities with accommodations, and test centers (Falvey Test Center and ADS Test Center) for students with testing accommodations.
However, LSS is now overseeing two separate test centers, the Falvey Test Center and the Tolentine Test Center.
The Falvey Test Center will operate as LSS’s primary test center for students who are registered with LSS and have testing accommodations.
The Tolentine Test Center provides test proctoring services when students miss a class due to illness, athletics, or other concerns and need to reschedule their tests or quizzes. Students registered with LSS or ADS for testing accommodations who are unable to book an exam with the office they are registered with due to the high volume of test takers may also schedule tests or quizzes in the Tolentine Test Center.
LSS and ADS will continue to use ClockWork to communicate about accommodation letters. And the Falvey Test Center, the ADS Test Center, and the Tolentine Test Center will all use ClockWork to communicate about exam proctoring requests.
It should be clear from students' accommodation letters which office a student is registered with. And it should be clear from the original test booking confirmation emails where a student is scheduled to take a test. Please make sure you are communicating with and sending tests to the correct office.
For LSS, please contact learning.support.services@villanova.edu or 610-519-5176.
For ADS and the ADS Test Center, please contact ods@villanova.edu or 610-519-3209.

For the Tolentine Test Center, please contact tolentine.testcenter@villanova.edu or 610-519-8378.
All accommodation letters for students who are registered with LSS or ADS can be found on ClockWork. You should also receive an email that will inform you when a student has sent you their accommodation letter. Please check out our guidelines about How to Access Students' Accommodation Letters for more information about this process.
Please Note: The students’ letter will specify which office the student is registered with and who you should contact if you have any questions.
LSS and ADS provide test proctoring services when professors are unable to provide all required testing accommodations for a student. Students should first check with their professor to see if the professor can proctor the test. If the professor is unable to proctor the test, then the student should schedule the test through ClockWork to take the test with the office that they are registered with.

Log into ClockWork and select the Tests and Exams section for your course. Then select Confirm/Select under the Action tab. You will be able to edit the entire request in the same way that you did when you originally confirmed it. You will be able to update the test time in ClockWork until 4 pm the day before the scheduled test. If you need to make changes after 4 pm the day before the scheduled test, please contact falvey.testcenter@villanova.edu, ods@villanova.edu, or tolentine.testcenter@villanova.edu, depending on where the student is scheduled to take the test, as soon as possible.
The Falvey Test Center, the ADS Test Center, and the Tolentine Test Center operate separate testing services. Please make sure you are sending the test to and communicating with the correct office. This should be clear from the original test booking confirmation email you’ll receive.
We expect students with testing accommodations to take their tests on the same day and time as their class, unless there is a scheduling conflict due to a student's schedule (i.e., back-to-back classes) or proctoring availability.
If a student needs to schedule a test on a day or time that is different than the class time, professors must confirm that this new time is acceptable.
Students will not be able to change the test time within the ClockWork system after they have submitted the initial request. They will need to contact the Falvey Test Center, the ADS Test Center, or the Tolentine Test Center to make these changes and will be reminded to contact you directly about these changes. You will be able to view and confirm these changes in ClockWork. Please refer to the guidelines on How to Confirm Students Test Requests for more information about this process.

Yes, you can, but we recommend that you upload your test to ClockWork as it is a more secure system. Please refer to the guidelines on How to Confirm Student's Test Request to learn how to confirm and upload a test in ClockWork.
Tests that are uploaded to ClockWork can be viewed by the Falvey Test Center, the ADS Test Center, and the Tolentine Test Center if multiple students are taking tests in the different test services for a specific class.
It is the student’s responsibility to request the accommodations they need for a specific test. They are expected to coordinate with the LSS run Falvey Test Center or the ADS Test Center, depending on where they are registered, if they need to take a proctored test. You are welcome to check in with your students to remind them that they should do this and determine whether they want to use their accommodations for this test.
It is the student’s responsibility to schedule a test with the Falvey Test Center, the ADS Test Center, or the Tolentine Test Center. Ideally students should request to take a test with a testing service before we receive a copy of the test from the professor. If you do send us a test before your students have scheduled it, we will hold on to the test and will destroy it if your students do not schedule a time to take the test.
If a student is registered with LSS, please refer to our Alternative Proctoring Solutions to learn about the various options to proctor students with testing accommodations if it is afterhours, LSS is not open, and you are not able to proctor the student yourself.
If a student is registered with ADS, please email ods@villanova.edu to discuss alternative proctoring solutions for students with testing accommodations, if it is afterhours, ADS is not open, and you are not able to proctor the student yourself.
If a student is not registered with LSS or ADS, faculty will have the option of having students take their test with the Tolentine Test Center on a different day or time or will need to work with their department to determine a proctoring solution. (Students registered with LSS or ADS will also be able to schedule tests with the Tolentine Test Center if the LSS run Falvey Test Center and the ADS Test Center not open or available at the time when a student needs to be proctored.) As the Tolentine Test Center is open after typical business hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays (Open 1 p.m. – 9 p.m.), this should provide greater availability for students.
