Welcome to the Testing Center

eTesting in the Pollock Testing Center will be closed for Summer 2024.

• eTesting will not be available in Pollock from Monday, May 6 to Friday, August 9, 2024.
• Scanning Operations will remain open throughout the summer.
• eTesting is available using Respondus LockDown Browser for Canvas exams and Quizzes. Respondus is available for proctored etesting in all Student Technology (STEC) classrooms and some departmental/college labs. Information about software, scheduling STEC classrooms, and using Respondus with your Canvas exams is available in a Knowledge Base article from Penn State IT.

Why are we closing for the summer 2024?

• The computer lab on the second floor of Pollock will undergo a major renovation, which will generate noise that would disrupt student exams on the first floor.
• The Testing Center lobby will have its ADA gates and doors updated to better accommodate all students.
• The eTesting check-in/-out system is being updated by our partners from Penn State IT.

We understand that this closure may inconvenience you and we apologize for any disruption of your summer testing plans. However, we believe that the improvements we are making will ultimately benefit everyone who utilizes our testing services.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at etest@psu.edu or 814-865-9784.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to enhance the Testing Center.
