In-Person Testing for Online Classes

For Students 

Scheduling and Locations

If you are taking an in-person exam for an online class at the Main Campus Testing Center, you must schedule an appointment ahead of time. Walk-ins are not available.

If you have approved testing accommodations through Disability Access Services (DAS) you must schedule through the AIM DAS Student Portal.

How to schedule:

1. Visit TracCloud scheduling to reserve your seat. Check out our Scheduling with TracCloud PDF to learn how to get stated with TracCloud. 
2. Review your email confirmation to determine your assigned Testing Center location.
3. Arrive 10 minutes early to check in and get settled before your test.

Testing Appointment Rules

• Arrive early with a valid photo ID. You cannot test without a photo ID.
• Bring only items allowed by your instructor. All other items must be stored in a locker we provide.
• Late arrival:
  • If you arrive more than 10 minutes late, you may not be allowed to test
  • You may lose testing time
• Cancel early:
  • Cancel at least 3 business days in advance
  • This helps other students use that testing time
• Many no-shows or cancellations may require you to schedule with Testing Center staff

Thank you for helping us support all students.

Proctoring is available for classes with the following modalities:

• Online Scheduled with In-Person (OW)
