How to Complete Alternate Testing Agreement and Upload Exam Dates 

1. Log into your AIM account on the DAS website (das.nmsu.edu) with the Faculty Login button. 
2. There will be a page that has our access policy. Please review, then click Continue to View Student Accommodations. 
3. Once redirected, there is a section that says Home with a link that you click on titled Alternative Testing. 
4. After reading the section labeled Important Information, click on the Alternative Testing Agreement button at the top of the page. You can also click on the link that says Courses without Alternative Testing Agreement under the Alternative Testing Agreement section below the important message. Both the button and the link will take you to the same page. 
5. After being redirected, scroll down until you find Step 1: Select Courses. Next to the course you are setting exam dates for, click the blue view button. 
6. You will be brought to a page with an Information section. After reading the information, scroll down and provide your phone number.  
7. Students will not see your contact information, but this step is mandatory to upload exam dates. 
   • Next, on the same page there will be a list of questions you will need to answer. Answer them as applicable to the exam as soon as possible. 
8. After providing your contact information and answering all the questions, scroll down to the Form Submission section and click on the Update and View Exam Dates button. 
9. There is now a section called Exam Detail where you will provide the information for each exam type, date, grace period, time, and length. If necessary, add any additional notes in the Additional Notes for Staff box. 
10. Now, you will need to fill out the “Exam Date Instructions” section. For question one, keep in mind that our preferred delivery method is uploading the exam through AIM because it ensures that it doesn’t risk getting lost in the DAS email as well as increases exam security.  In question two, we would like to emphasize uploading exams on AIM (unless there is a Bluebook or Scantron) because it ensures exam confidentiality and that it won’t be delivered back to the wrong person. Lastly, please be very specific in question three regarding which materials students are allowed to have (if any) during their exam. When they come in to take their exam, we are only allowed to give them the materials you select. 
11. Next, there is an option to upload an exam in the Upload Exam File section. You do not need to upload an exam to make an exam date, it can be done at a later date. However, adding exam dates is necessary for students to schedule their exams.  
12. Once you have completed the alternative testing agreement and exam date process, there will be a banner at the top of the page that says Success! Your Action Has Been Completed. Please ensure this banner appears.
