Testing Center Appointments

The Testing Center is once again delivering exams on-campus in the Testing Center's Office (Building A, room A148) but by appointment only. Please schedule the test you intend to take using the associated link below.

Placement Testing 

For those that would prefer to come to campus for on-site placement testing, please schedule here.

  • Placement testing can also be completed at home using the remote proctoring program, Honorlock. Please refer to our Honorlock FAQ webpage for more information. 

Make-up Test from Class

If approved by your instructor, you could take an exam that was missed in class in the Testing Center. In order to do that, your instructor will need to submit the exam proctoring instructions and you will need to schedule a Make-up Test appointment here. 

Please make sure that you have approval from your instructor to take a Make-up test before scheduling an appointment. 

Honorlock Course Testing

If you need a place that can provide the required technology for Honorlock testing for your online or blended course, or even if you're simply looking for a quiet place to take a remotely proctored test, the Testing Center can provide that space. Schedule your test here.
