Renovated Locations

Rows of study cubicles in a bright room, each with a desk and chair. The cubicles are separated by high walls, offering privacy to individual users. Large windows provide views of greenery outside.

What to expect in Carver 0060 and Hixson-Lied 2242

Significant investments in two Testing Center locations were made in 2024.  The Office of the President funded the Carver 0060 renovation through a one-time strategic initiatives project grant, advancing the university’s strategic plan.  The new 2242 Hixson-Lied location was funded through the Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost.  These investments provide all students with a more secure environment and a lower-distraction testing experience.  

Lockers are provided to students to store non-testing materials including backpacks, coats, phones, food, etc.  Your ISUCard gives you access to the locker system so you MUST have your ISUCard with you if you need to store items. Please view our videos below on how to use the locker system before you check-in and after you check-out.

Before you check-in:

After you check-out:

  • Visit the restroom before checking-in.  If you have to leave to use the restroom, a report will be filed to your instructor.
  • Remove and properly dispose of any chewing gum.
  • Computers are provided by the Testing Center.  You should not bring your own laptop or computer.
  • Know your netid and password before checking in.  You will not be allowed to bring in a phone.  No multi-factor authentication (MFA) is required in the Testing Center.
  • Arrive up to 10 minutes before your appointment. We highly encourage you to arrive early to your appointment.
  • Your university ID is required to use the lockers at these locations.
  • Store all items not used for the exam in a locker outside the testing space.  Food, drink, phones, and other non-medical devices are not allowed inside the testing area.

  • Provide your University ID card to the check-in staff.
  • Tell the proctor the course name, section, instructors name, and which exam you are taking.
  • Present any allowed materials (notes, calculators, etc.) for inspection.
  • You will be provided with a clipboard with scratch paper and colored cards before you are seated.
  • Place your ID and the colored cards in the proper area.

Take a deep breath before beginning to center yourself. You’ve got this!

Should you need assistance during your testing session, raise your hand to alert a proctor.  This includes for any hardware or software problems or distractions that affect your ability to take your assessment.  If your terminal displays an error message, please DO NOT remove the message.

Do your best – proctors are unable to answer inquiries regarding specific questions on your assessment but can send technical reports to your faculty if there are questions about exam setup.

  • When completed, log out of the testing terminal.
  • Gather your allowed materials, clipboard, and scratch paper.
  • At check-out, return the scratch paper clipboard and scratch paper as well as any allowed notes that were brought in (no notes are allowed to leave a testing center location, even for multiple attempt assessments).
  • Provide your University ID card to the check-out staff and wait to be dismissed by the check-out proctor.
