Several changes are made to Testing Center operations during Finals Week. Please review the information below to be prepared.

  • Limited appointments are available in Carver 0250 – No rescheduling appointments during finals week.
  • Walk-up registration is used in all locations, except Carver 0250.  This means you simply need to visit a Testing Center location, scan the QR code to register, and join the waitlist.
  • Please only bring the items you need for your exam to speed up the check-in process.
  • Consider lower wait times:  Mornings (before 11am) and evenings (after 7pm) are generally less busy.
  • Test at less crowded locations such as Gilman 2552 or Gilman 2272.
  • Get a jump start on your break!  Take advantage of weekend testing (exam dependent).
  • Brief waits are likely, especially at Carver 0060.

  • Appointments (Carver 0250 Only): arrive up to 10 minutes before your time. Appointments cannot be rescheduled during finals week. The process to schedule an appointment has not changed and must be completed via RegisterBlast in Canvas.
  • Walk-up Registrations (all locations, except Carver 0250): Testing Center locations will have walk-up registration kiosks and QR codes that must be used when you arrive to register for your exam and to be added to the waiting list.
    • Once on the waiting list, you will be assigned a position number that will change as people enter to test.
    • There will be numbers on the wall that correspond to the position number on the waiting list.
      • At Gilman 2552 and 2272, once you get to position 10 on the waiting list (or earlier during lower-wait times), get in line to enter the testing center.
      • At Carver 0060 and Hixson-Lied 2242, wait until you are in position 10 before getting a locker to store your items.  Once items are stored, please proceed to the entrance.

  • Have your University ID card or other accepted photo identification out and ready.
  • Power down all electronic devices & remove watches. Store these items in lockers if you are in Carver 0060 or Hixson-Lied 2242.
  • Tell the check-in desk the 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.

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 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 and restart the testing terminal.
  • Gather your belongings, allowed materials, clipboard, and scratch paper.
  • At check-out, return the scratch paper clipboard and scratch paper as well as any approved notes that were brought in (no notes are allowed to leave a testing center location, even for multiple attempt assessments).
  • Check-out at the check-out station.
