Important Notes

• Our semester hours are listed on our Hours and Holidays page. The only deviations from these hours are due to university closings such as football games or holidays.

• A forwarded e-mail goes out before every semester from David Collantes that will include lab information for your syllabus, any changes to the lab and ideas we have to make the center work more efficiently. If you are not getting these emails please let us know.

• Your testing center request needs to be inputted into the Test Management system as soon as possible so that we can schedule the lab for that amount of usage. This system will be available 2 weeks before the semester begins through 2 weeks after. All exams requests and changes must be submitted no less than 1 week prior to the start date.

• We offer information sessions including a quick Testing Center walkthrough and a question/answer session. Please just let us know when and we would be happy to speak with your class.
