Testing Services staff will respond according to applicable testing company policies when misconduct is suspected. In cases of suspected misconduct for on-campus and correspondence exams, our procedure is to attempt to verify misconduct, discontinue testing, confiscate any banned materials from testing room, and inform instructors and the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards (for University of Akron exams) in writing with description of the incident. Further action is the responsibility of test companies, instructors, and the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards.
