Academic Testing

Academic Testing administers tests at the request of instructors for math and science courses, Internet and hybrid classes, make-up tests for campus courses, advanced standing tests and computer proficiency exams. Correspondence testing is done by arrangement only and requires special permission.

Academic Testing also proctors tests originating from other institutions. The proctoring fee is $15 per test and requires special permission. For more information about our requirements or to make an appointment, please call.

The GED is only given at approved testing locations. For more information about the GED, please visit the State of Oklahoma GED webpage. The ACT, COMPASS, CLEP and DSST tests are given in Enrollment and Specialized Testing (EAST) on the opposite end of campus.

Student Information

To take a test, students must provide:

Student ID Card -or- Government-issued Photo ID
Student ID Number
Instructor's Name
Course Name
Test Number

Exams may not be started within one hour of closing. All tests must be submitted 10 minutes before closing regardless of how much time your instructor has allotted for test completion. Please arrive early enough to allow ample time to complete your test.

Children are not allowed in Academic Testing while their supervising adult is taking a test. If an unforeseen circumstance occurs and you arrive to take a test with a child, we will do our best to make accommodations if we have an individual testing room available. Please call if you need to make arrangements or have questions.

Neither cell phones nor wearable phones are allowed in Academic Testing while taking a test. It is best to leave them in your car while you are taking a test.

Faculty Information

In order for Academic Testing to provide a pleasant and secure testing experience, faculty members need to:

Include faculty name, course abbreviation and course number on each test.
Deliver sufficient copies of tests to Academic Testing Services prior to the testing date.
Provide a list of students including student ID numbers of those authorized to take the test.
Provide a completed Academic Testing Instruction Sheet (rev. 2017-05-25) for each test.
- When you use the form for the first time, download and save it to a location on your computer where you may easily retrieve it.
- You may pre-fill your typical test settings and save the file for use as a template with these choices already populated so that you don’t have the complete the form from scratch every time.
- Each time you use your template for a different test and student(s), the only items you will need to fill in are the unique or changed items. You can save the completed form with a name indicating the test and student(s) if you wish to retain for your records.
- Whether you save the form each time or not, you will need to print the completed form to present to Academic Testing with your test. Note: If you do not wish to fill out the form on your computer, you may simply print a blank form and fill it out by hand.

If we receive a test unaccompanied by an instruction sheet, we will contact the instructor to obtain one. Tests will not be given without an instruction sheet.

Completed tests will not be returned through interoffice mail. Faculty members must either pick up their tests or authorize someone to pick them up. Authorization must be in writing. Authorization forms are available in Academic Testing.
