The Assessment Center is a resource for faculty, students, and the education community. Staffed by a graduate assistant, under the supervision of faculty from the Counselor Education, School Psychology, and Special Education programs, the Assessment Center lends assessment materials to students, faculty, and educators who possess the pre-requisite training and expertise to administer and interpret them. The Assessment Center has a collection of over 250 achievement, behavior, cognitive, counseling, developmental, and personality tests.

Hours

The Assessment Center is open from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during the Fall, Spring, and first Summer sessions.  It is closed on all University holidays. Students may request tests via email at the Center email (assessment.center@maine.edu) and the test(s) will be left for pickup in 400 Bailey Hall between 8:30 am and 4 pm on weekdays.  All tests may be returned to 400 Bailey Hall during normal business between 8:30 am and 4 pm on weekdays. In order to check out a test via email, the user must have a completed borrower form on file with the Assessment Center. For more information or for inquiries please contact the Assessment Center at 780-5671 or by email at assessment.center@maine.edu

Borrower Privileges

Those wishing to use Assessment Center resources must fill out a Borrower Application Form (below). In the case of students, the form must be signed by a faculty member. All borrowers must have a completed form on file in order to borrow materials. In signing the application for borrowing privileges, all users agree to use the tests only as indicated in the test manual and to return all tests in good condition by the due date.  Student borrowers who fail to return a test borrowed for a course assignment may not receive a course grade until all tests that s/he checked out have been returned.

Restricted Tests

Not all of the tests in the collection are allowed to be checked out by all borrowers.  Specifically, certain tests are reserved for the use of the students in the School Psychology Program because the test publishers' user agreements restrict test use to students enrolled in that program. The following codes indicate which tests are restricted and which may be checked out by a wider number of students.

Level 1 tests: May be checked out by all students enrolled in a course for which Assessment Center lab fees have been paid.

Level 2 tests: May be checked out by students enrolled in Counseling (HCE), Special Education (SED), and School Psychology (HRD) courses.

Level 3 tests: May be checked out by students matriculated into the School Psychology program during the semesters when specific courses are taken. This group of tests includes all of the tests marked COG (cognitive).

Level 4 tests: Reserved for faculty use only.
