What does the Assessment Center do? Where would I find it?

The Assessment Center (AC) manages limited space for students to complete assessments outside of class. The office also provides space for students with accommodations. We are located in the Read Center RC114.

Assessment Hours

Monday through Friday: 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Any changes to the hours will be listed above.

Why would I take a class assessment in the AC?

You may need to set up an assessment in the AC for one or more of these cases:

• You have an official accommodations memo from Alverno’s Student Accessibility Coordinator (studentaccessibility@alverno.edu) that has been shared with your instructor(s).
• You have missed an assessment but arranged a makeup with your instructor.
• You were unable to complete an assessment during regular class time and arranged more time with your instructor.

How do I set up an assessment in the AC?

• Start by emailing or talking with your instructor to make the request. Your instructor must share assessment materials and instructions with the AC before an appointment can be scheduled. Please try and schedule your assessment(s), at least 3 business days in advance.
• Once your instructor has submitted the materials, you may come directly to the AC (RC114), email us (assessmentcenter@alverno.edu), or give us a call (414-382-6020) to make your appointment. We will set you up!

What happens when I come to assess?

• Check In
• • You will need to show us an official photo ID (Alverno or state-issued IDs are both acceptable)
  • You will power off or silence your tech (e.g., phones, smart watches, etc.).
  • You will give us your phone and other items to hold during your assessment. No tech beyond what is listed in the instructor’s directions will be allowed in the assessment room.
  • We will secure your phones behind the main desk or provide closet storage for the rest of your items (coat, laptop, backpack, etc.) until you are finished.
  • We will check your instructor’s instructions regarding how much time and what materials you may use. These instructions will be followed.
• Assessing
• • You will be seated in an appropriate assessment space for the time allotted in order to complete your assessment.
  • You will complete your assessment in one appointment. The only exception is if your instructor has indicated otherwise on the form.
• Completing and Submitting
• • Once finished, bring all assessment materials to AC staff at the front desk.
  • We will distribute your completed assessment and all related materials to your instructor by the end of day.

What else can I do in the AC?

• You can arrange to take a Credit for Prior Learning bypass assessment in order to earn credits for some introductory courses if you have received an invitation to do so.
• Once you graduate, you can train alongside area professionals through Alverno's Volunteer Assessor Program to assist instructors in providing feedback to students during the assessment. We hope to welcome you as a future assessor!
