Welcome to the Testing Center

The Testing Center's eTesting Lab administers secure, computer-based exams through Canvas for undergraduate classes at the University Park campus. The eTesting Lab has 150 exam workstations per testing time slot with up to 15 time slots per day.

The Testing Center does not administer commercial exams such as the SAT, GRE, or LSAT.

For Students

For Faculty

eTesting Services

Instructors can request space in the Testing Center for particular dates. Students enrolled in the course select a timeslot convenient for their schedules on the dates designated by the instructor.

ADA Accommodations

Students should apply for accommodations through the Student Disability Resources (SDR) office.

Students that have SDR approval for 50% extra-time are welcome to schedule their exams in the Testing Center or in the SDR testing center. Students with approval for 100% extra-time or any other accommodation are accommodated in the SDR testing center.

Students with extra-time accommodations should never schedule in the last timeslot of the day because the Testing Center closes at 11 pm.

The Pollock Testing Center has height adjustable computer stations but does not have any assistive technology.
