Schedule Your Department/Make-Up Exam

To maintain a secure and distraction-free testing environment, all testing candidates must adhere to standard campus testing policies:

  • Verify with Your Instructor: Before scheduling an appointment, always confirm directly with your instructor that they have delivered your specific exam and testing parameters to the Testing Center.
  • Bring Approved Photo ID: You must present a valid physical COM student photo ID to sit for your exam. Digital copies, pictures of IDs on phones, or electronic documentation are not accepted.
  • Permitted Materials: Only physical study aids or materials explicitly designated and authorized by your instructor will be allowed inside the testing room.
  • No Breaks Allowed: Departmental and make-up exams are not permitted breaks. If you leave the testing lab for any reason, you must turn in your exam, and it will be graded as-is.
  • Closing Procedures: All testing sessions stop exactly at the official close of the business day, regardless of what time you initiated your exam. Please plan your arrival time accordingly to ensure you receive your full testing duration.
