Testers (PLEASE READ for updates due to the COVID-19 closure)

NOTE: some exams types are now being offered virtually and do not require that you wait until we return to campus. You can begin making virtual appointments on the below exams. Refer to the chart below for specific details. Exams with virtual proctoring options will incur an additional proctoring fee paid to the 3rd party company.

The Exams listed below will be suspended until the Fall semester. We anticipate that when we re-open, testing will be on a limited basis.

The Exams below do not currently have any virtual options. If anything changes, the chart will be updated.
