Test Taker Responsibilities
The student must arrive at the appointment on-time. The student is responsible for notifying the proctor as soon as possible if he or she cannot make the appointment. Students are responsible for providing a photo ID at the time of the exam. No exams will be administered without proper identification. Students should also be aware that electronic devices such as cell phones should be turned off while taking an exam. No backpacks or purses will be allowed during the testing. Test proctors may also have additional requirements based on instructions from the instructor. Should a student not follow the guidelines set forth by the instructor or the guidelines established by the proctor, the proctor has the right to stop an exam.
