The ADS Testing Center serves both students and faculty by providing a welcoming environment for students to utilize their approved ADS testing accommodations when they cannot be implemented in the classroom. The center provides access to a variety of accommodations, such as extended test time, reduced distraction spaces, and access to assistive technologies, including reading and writing software. 

ADS Testing Center staff are dedicated to supporting students and maintaining the academic integrity of the exams and quizzes provided by faculty. A team of trained proctors actively monitor the testing environment using camera systems and LanSchool software, to ensure exam security and address all student needs promptly.

The facility features 34 computer stations with privacy partitions and utilizes white noise machines, noise-canceling headphones, and earplugs to provide a reduced distraction testing environment.
