Scheduling Information

Schedule a Test Proctor Date

Test proctoring sessions must be scheduled at least TWO BUSINESS DAYS in advance. A member of our proctoring staff will follow-up with you regarding your request.

Free to Minnesota West students.

Students who are NOT enrolled or are NOT alumni of a Minnesota State institution will be charged a $20.00 testing fee for each exam (two-hour maximum testing time).  Proctoring for non-Minnesota State exams over two hours (up to four hours) will be charged a $50.00 testing fee. 

Payment can made in cash or check payable to Minnesota West Community & Technical College.

If paying cash, EXACT PAYMENT AMOUNT is needed as the proctoring area does not carry change.

Minnesota West offers the ACT On-Campus test for prospective nursing students.

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.
