Is this a walk in program?
No, it is not. Once the exam is on file, the student must set up
an appointment to take the exam by calling 556-3677 or visiting
TV 347. [ top ]
Why
are appointments needed?
We want to ensure that you do not come to the Testing Center and
your test not be here. We also want you to have the most accurate
instructions for preparing for the exam. [ top ]
Who
will proctor the exam?
A trained staff member from the Assessment and Testing office. Our
office adheres to the testing standards of the NCTA. [ top ]
What
happens if the student is cheating?
The exam is stopped at once, the materials are collected and the
professor is notified immediately. [ top ]
When
will the exam be returned?
The exam will be returned according to the instructions provided
on the Cover Sheet, otherwise it will be kept on file in TV 347.
(A picture ID will be required for professors picking up exams and
a signature will be required for receipt of the exam). Completed
exams will take approximately 1-2 business days to process. If you
desire your exam earlier please call us and we will have your exam
ready for pick up. Sorry, no special deliveries. [ top ]
Is there a fee?
NO. There is not a fee for incoming students or for Metro students
taking Online course exams. However, due to the high frequency of
students not showing and/or rescheduling appointments, students
will be allowed ONE reschedule, after that, a $10.00/per time rescheduling
fee will be required or alternate arrangements may be made with
the professor. There is also a $25.00 fee for courtesy
exams.
If you have any questions relating to testing policies or procedures,
please call the Office of Assessment and Specialized Testing Center
at (303) 556-3677. Please contact your professor for test-specific
