  • Effective Nov. 13th, you will be asked to leave cell phones and purses in your vehicles, lockers upstairs, or containers provided by the Testing Center.

 

  • We also encourage you not to bring large bags or bulky coats to the Testing Center as we still haven’t received our lockers.

 

  • The Testing Center becomes busier at the end of the semester. Even if you don’t see us with students, we may be processing their tests. Please be patient and we will call you up to the desk as soon as we can.

 

TipsTry not to wait until the last day to test as this increases test anxiety. You want to get your test done so you can relax!
