Testing Services

Jacksonville State University's Testing Services office may determine it necessary to change the location, date, time, etc. for any of the examinations CS administers. Administration of an examination may be postponed, delayed, or canceled for any cause that could not be prevented by Testing Services to include "acts of God," such as fire, flood, tornadoes, storms, an outbreak of disease, or other natural disasters; or by acts of the military, political, or government authority.

On occasion, with computer-delivered tests, unforeseen technical difficulties may delay the start of an examination or require a rescheduling of the test. On the odd occasions, technical difficulties may disrupt testing causing the inability to report scores or the necessity to restart a test. Technical difficulties do not include any types of user error.

If any of the above situations occur, Testing Services will allow the examinees: (1) to retest at a later available date at no additional charge or (2) to receive a refund of the original testing fees.

Note: Examinees who paid by cash or check must receive their refund by check. Checks will be available 7-10 business days after refund request.
