Students taking proctored exams at the Center for Online and Distance Learning may be surprised to see longer lines this semester. Increased numbers of students are taking tests this year at the CDOL in Room 60 in the basement of Carver.

On arrival, students taking exams should check in at the front desk, show their photo ID and a proctor will direct them to an available computer. The students will need to provide the course name, section, instructor’s name and which exam they are taking.

Students are encouraged to arrive early to the testing center because the center only has 48 terminals and they fill up quickly.

Basic testing rules apply to the proctored exams. Things such as collaborating with other students, talking, cellphone use and using the restroom are not permitted. Also, students will not be allowed to navigate to other websites or use zip drives for the tests. Students will be provided with scratch paper but will have to return it when they finish the exam.

The computers will shut off promptly and students will not be allowed to use computers after they shut off and will not be admitted after the allotted closing time.
