• Due to the release of Smart Watches (watches that communicate wirelessly with cell phones, tablets, or computers), no watches will be allowed in the testing rooms.  Added fall 2013.
• Food and beverages are not allowed in the testing rooms.  These items must be disposed before entering Testing Services.

• Testers must present appropriate photo identification; these requirements are clearly articulated by the test provider.  There are no exceptions to this rule.  Individuals without photo identification will not be allowed to test.
• Calculators and ear plugs are provided upon request; please note calculators are not permitted for all exams.
• No testing may begin within one hour prior to Testing Services closing.
• All testers must schedule their exams to allow themselves enough time to complete testing (i.e. if a student has a two-hour exam, the student must schedule accordingly).
• Exams must be completed in one sitting.  The exception to this rule is placement testing; testers may complete a section or sections of the test and then take a break.
