Staff Shortages– Wait Time Increases

Due to a number of staff departures we are currently experiencing a longer than normal wait time. It is highly recommended that you come as early as possible and the day before an exam is due.  If you arrive at the Testing Center and there is a line, be aware that Proctor U is available for most online exams.

Always review our website for office hours and cut off times for your exam before visiting the Testing Center.

We will continue to do our utmost to provide you with excellent customer service.

Is the Winter Weather Bringing You Down?

sad-vitamin-d     If you’re feeling the winter blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder, SAD, vitamin D supplements can often really help. It’s that time of year when those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are dealing with shorter days, lower light levels and cold weather.

SAD can leave you feeling tired, lacking in energy, moody, unable to concentrate – and sad! It could be a psychological disorder, or a hormone imbalance, but increasing your vitamin D intake might help. Even if you don’t have full-blown SAD, vitamin D levels might be low and can leave you feeling a bit down with the approach of winter.
