FSU Testing Center Policies and Procedures

To ensure test security and to maintain confidentiality, the Testing Center has established policies and procedures that will aid in ensuring an optimal testing session.  We strictly observe the guidelines set forth by the National College Testing Association and follow a well-established set of procedures to ensure a consistent and quality testing experience for our examinees. Anyone who takes a test in the FSU Testing Center must comply with these regulations, and failure to do so may mean that you are ineligible to take your exam and this may lead to harsher penalties. 
The Testing Center and its computers are monitored electronically and are under constant under video surveillance.  Anyone coming into the Testing Center consents to being recorded and understands that recordings may be held and reviewed as needed.

If you have questions or concerns, ask your proctor before your exam begins or contact our office at 910-672-1301.

Academic Integrity

Safety and academic Integrity are our utmost concerns. Any methods used to gain an unfair advantage on an exam will not be tolerated; cheating may include but is not limited to the following: attempting to test under an identity other than your own, attempting to remove testing materials or notes from the room, disturbing or attempting to communicate with anyone other than the exam proctor, using unauthorized aids during testing, and disregarding test administrator’s instructions.  
By Appointment Only

With limited seating we are unable to accommodate candidates looking to test without an appointment.  All exams must be scheduled prior to the day of the exam, for details on how to register for your exam please refer to our “Tests Offered” page. 

Appointments for paid exams booked using our website (i.e., ACCUPLACER, CLEP, non-FSU proctored exams, etc.) are not eligible for a refund unless the appointment has been cancelled by the Testing Office.

ID Requirements

With few exceptions, ID documents must meet all of the following requirements. Each ID document must:

• be an original document; photocopied documents are not acceptable
• be a physical ID; a digital ID issued to a mobile phone or any other electronic device is not acceptable, except in the Republic of Korea, where some digital IDs are permitted.
• be a government-issued national/state/province identity card that is recognized by the country in which you are a citizen or permanent resident
• bear your first and last name exactly (excluding accents) as it was when registering for the test
• include a recent, recognizable photograph
• include your signature (the name and signature on the ID document must match)
• be valid; expired documents (bearing expiration dates that have passed) are not acceptable
• FSU student ID is acceptable only for class exams

Some exams require a second form of ID.  Additionally, our test administrators or proctors may ask for a secondary ID to verify your identity; thus, we recommended that examinees bring a second valid form of ID (with a recent photo) as additional verification.  Please check with your testing provider about ID requirements and what is considered an acceptable primary and secondary ID. You may be required to provide a supplemental ID document if:

• the test administrator questions your primary ID document
• your primary ID document is otherwise acceptable but doesn’t bear your first and last name, photograph or signature

If you can’t provide a supplemental ID that contains your signature, you may present two government-issued IDs with photographs as long as they’re in the same name you used when you registered. You cannot use supplemental ID documents to resolve name discrepancies. The first and last name on your primary ID must match (excluding accents) the name you used when you registered for the test. The following ID documents are generally acceptable as supplemental ID:

• Government-issued ID card (including, but not limited to, those listed under Primary ID Documents)
• Student ID card
• Confirmation of identity letter from your educational institution. Such letters are valid for only 1 year from the date issued. The letter must:
• be typed or printed on the original letterhead of the educational institution you attend(ed)
• meet all of the ID Document requirements
• include your date of birth and the date issued
• include a school official's signature and the school seal, and both must overlap your photograph, as shown below.

Late Arrivals

Failure to arrive on time impacts examinees scheduled for later times and may limit the time available to complete examinations. Because of limited seating, after 30 minutes all examinees are considered a “No Show” and will not be allowed to test, but some exams do have a limit set at 15 minutes after their scheduled start time.  We recommend that all efforts are made to arrive 15 to 30 minutes before your scheduled start time and contact our office if you will be late to see if we will still be able to accommodate your exam.

Testing Aids and Materials

Exams are administered in accordance with the guidelines set forth by their host/parent entities, in most cases, you will not be permitted to bring your own materials into the testing room. We will provide any scratch paper (or whiteboards), pencils, or materials that might be required for your test unless directed otherwise. Most exams provide on-screen calculators, however occasionally an exam provider will allow an examinee to bring a personal calculator provided it meets the exam provider’s specifications. Please familiarize yourself with the exam material requirements for your specific exam before arriving for your appointment.

Personal Belongings and Electronic Devices

Personal belongings such as backpacks, books, and electronic devices (including but not limited to cell phones, watches, and Fitbits) are not allowed in the testing rooms. We provide secure lockers for stowing any personal belongings, but please know that all cell phones and portable electronic devices must be turned off before stowing. The Fayetteville State University Testing Center is not responsible for the theft, loss, or damage to any personal property brought to the center.  All items entering the testing room must be inspected before entry including but not limited to eyeglasses, shoes, and items of clothing.
Once you have checked in for your exam, accessing or attempting to gain access to unapproved items such as study materials or personal electronic devices will result in the immediate termination of the exam, and an incident report will be submitted to the exam provider.

Note: Examinees are not allowed to wear any hoods, hats, or head wrapping unless for medical or religious reasons, but these items will still need to be inspected before entering the testing room.

Secure, Distraction Free Environment

We administer several exams in our testing labs throughout the day. Consequently, there is often a steady flow of examinees checking in or out, actively testing, or waiting for their scheduled exams. Please be mindful of other examinees and refrain from behavior that might be distracting.  Our staff monitor examinees at all times, so once you have begun testing please raise your hand if you have any questions or issues that need to be addressed.

Our staff employ active proctoring techniques which include observing examinees through lab windows and conducting frequent walk throughs. Additionally, our center utilizes audio and video computer surveillance as well as recording technologies to maintain a testing environment of academic integrity. If needed, these electronic feeds remain available for review by our staff and/or test providers. 

Examinee Conduct Expectations and Violations

Examinees who violate test integrity policies may be asked to stop testing immediately, and the misconduct will be reported to the appropriate entities. Once you have checked in for your exam, accessing or attempting to gain access to unapproved items such as study materials or personal electronic devices will result in the immediate termination of the exam, and an incident report will be submitted to the exam provider.
After checking in for your exam you will not be allowed to leave the testing building until the conclusion of your exam.  Once you enter the testing room you will need to limit all distracting behavior which includes reading aloud to yourself. Additionally, once seated you will not be allowed to start writing until you have reached the timed portion of your exam.  Once your exam has begun examinees are expected to work quietly and diligently on their exam, for this reason sleeping is not permitted.

Most exams are administered using a computer, and due to security issues we ae unable to install any software on Testing Center workstations except in cases of accommodated testing.  Additionally, any unauthorized use of computers in the Testing Center is strictly prohibited and will result in disciplinary action.
At the conclusion of the exam examinees will return all scratch paper (or whiteboards) without exception.  Examinees are not allowed to retain any part (or photos) of any scratch paper or whiteboard.

The Fayetteville State University Office of Testing Services reserves the right to terminate exams and report violations of our policies committed by any examinee.

Visitors not allowed

Unauthorized visitors are not permitted in the testing rooms, and examinees are only allowed in the room while taking an exam. Our center provides a small seating area for examinees who are waiting to test, and there is limited seating located outside of the testing center for friends and family. Please inform a test center staff member if you have a friend or family member who will be waiting for you. During breaks you are not allowed to communicate with anyone other than Testing Center staff.

Breaks - Restrooms, Water, and Snacks

Many tests allow examinees to take breaks after notifying a test center staff member. Raise your hand to notify the proctor or staff member that you need to exit the testing room. A water cooler is in the test center waiting area, and restrooms and vending machines are located throughout the building. Taking unscheduled breaks may deduct from the time allotted for an exam as the policy varies for different types of exams. When taking a break, be sure to confirm with a staff member or proctor whether “the clock will keep counting down” in your exam. During breaks scheduled and unscheduled candidates are not allowed to leave the building, access any study materials or electronics, or communicate to anyone other than Test Center staff.

University Testing Services (UTS) administers proctored exams throughout the school year to students for a variety of reasons (i.e., online course, make-up exam, etc.); students are encouraged to schedule exams using this link.
