·         Tests are administered on a “walk-in” basis only. Students will be seated on a first-come, first-served basis after signing in at the podium outside the office door.

·         Students may call the Testing Center to verify that their test is on file and ready to be administered.

·         In order to be seated for a test, you should have your Tartan card ready and know the following:   (1) course number, (2) section number, (3) instructor’s name and (4) accurate description of the test (i.e., test #2, final).

·         Students are responsible for making arrangements with their instructors to ensure tests are delivered to the Testing Center.  Tests must be received in our office at least 24 hours prior to administration to allow for processing. If a test is not available for administration when the student arrives, it is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor.

·         Students can expect a longer than usual wait during peak periods (i.e., lunch time, after 4:00 p.m., midterms and finals).

 Administration of Tests

·         Tests will only be administered to students with a Tartan Card, driver’s license or state issued photo ID.

·         The use of cellular devices in the lab will not be tolerated.  All devices must be turned off before entering the lab. 

·         Students will not be permitted to exit and then re-enter the testing lab once they have been given a test.

·         Personal items must be deposited in the designated storage area in the testing lab. Purses may be kept under the desk. Hats and coats are to be hung on the coat rack located in the Testing Center lab.

·         Any students found using materials not indicated as permissible on the coversheet must forfeit the materials to the Testing Center staff.  The student will be allowed to complete the test but the confiscated materials will be forwarded to the instructor with a note of explanation.

·         Dishonesty in any form is prohibited.  Violations may result in disciplinary action by the Student Conduct Board.

·         Calculators (if permitted by instructor) will be inspected before being used in the testing lab.  Check with your instructor as to what type of calculator is permitted.

·         We will not give a test past the instructor’s deadline or allow the use of any materials not specified on the coversheet.

·         Upon completion of each paper test the Testing Center staff will indicate on an attached sheet the time the student started the test, the time limit, and the actual time the test was completed. Students must turn in their tests within the instructor’s allotted time.

·         Students must return all testing materials (including scrap paper) to the Test Monitor and sign out upon completion of their test.

·         Students needing to take multiple tests are required to sign in for each test.  Students will not be given more than one timed test per sitting, i.e., (1) sign in for test one, take test one, then (2) sign in for test two, take test two.
