Eliminating Paper Permission to Placement Test Slips


In an effort to better serve students, improve records and data collection, and become more environmentally sustainable, Testing Services collaborated with Computing to eliminate paper permission to placement test slips.  We are calling this new process departmental permission to test.  Departmental permission will be granted using SOATEST in Banner INB, eliminating the need for students to bring paper permission with them when they test.  Please note, this is not a replacement for the SAAADMS Checklist in Admissions; it is directed at those who currently write permission slips that do not have update access to SAAADMS (anyone other than Admissions) and for any other instances where the SAAADMS Checklist cannot be used (e.g., non-matriculated students who do not have an application on file). 

The departmental permission to test codes are active now, and we ask that those who currently issue paper permission slips start using this new process as soon as possible.  We will continue to honor paper permission for the time being, understanding that there are paper slips that have not been used and that some departments may require access to SOATEST.  Attached please find instructions for entering departmental permission in SOATEST. 

If you have any questions, require update access to SOATEST, or if you would like a demonstration on how use SOATEST to provide permission to test, please contact Ryan Messenger at x2293 or <mailto:rmessenger@monroecc.edu> .
