Instructions: Taking an Exam at the DRC

As of October 17, 2024, the DRC is no longer accepting same day testing requests nor same day testing walk-ins.

Process Overview Heading link

What to expect when scheduling in person tests:

Agree on the test time and date with your instructor.

Keep these things in mind when choosing a time and date:

  • The DRC Opens at 9 AM and all tests must be completed by 5 PM, including extended time
  • Do not schedule such that you will miss other classes

Schedule your seat at least 72 hours before your test date (five days in advance for finals)

Refer to the guides below for step-by-step instructions on scheduling. Remember, the system will not allow you to schedule less than 72 hours before the test time, down to the minute.

  • Ex) If you have a test at 2 PM on Friday, the latest you can log in and schedule that test is 1:59 PM on Tuesday.

The DRC will approve your test date.

You and your instructor will receive a confirmation email.

Your instructor will submit a copy of the test and the Exam Proctoring Form to the DRC.

You do not have to complete this form, but it is a good idea to remind your instructor.

Come to the DRC (SSB 1070) at the scheduled time and we will proctor your test!

It’s a good idea to arrive a little early. All tests are proctored via an internal camera system.

Students will be provided with sanitizing wipes to clean their stations as they leave the testing area.

 

DRC will return your exam to your instructor for grading.

Great work!
