The Testing Center offers testing services for SVSU and Non-SVSU students who need to take exams for other colleges or universities. The Center can proctor both computerized as well as paper and pencil tests. Students taking proctored exams are subject to the policies of both the school of origin and the Testing Center. Students should review testing policies for both schools to ensure there are no issues with academic dishonesty. Testers are required to present a physical photo ID (student ID, driver's license, passport, or state ID) on test day; electronic versions will not be accepted.

Off-campus distance learners or SVSU students that are taking an SVSU online class and need to take a test may take their exam at a testing center that is closer to their location. To do so, they must contact their instructor and notify them within the first two weeks of the semester that they intend to take any scheduled exams at a proctored facility off-campus. Visit the NCTA Testing Center to find a suitable location to take an online exam.
The student is responsible for contacting both the Testing Center and their instructor to make arrangements for testing. They should verify that their instructor has emailed or sent the exam and the necessary instructions regarding it to the Testing Center. Questions about exam content, formatting, allowed materials and retakes should be directed to the instructor. Cell phones or any other technology (smartwatches, tablets, laptops, etc.) will not be accepted as "calculators" or "note sheets." Students should also verify that they are scheduling for their exams during a window approved by the instructor.
To take a proctored exam:
If a student is more than 10 minutes late for their appointment, they must reschedule to minimize interruptions for those already testing. Testers should allow themselves enough time to complete their exams prior to the closing of the Testing Center when registering. It is highly recommended that students ask their professor how long the test may take so that they can plan accordingly. In addition, students needing multiple tests proctored must register for multiple testing windows. Students will only be allowed to take one test per appointment window.
If a student cannot come to a scheduled exam, they may reschedule and/or cancel their appointment in one of two ways:
If payment has been made, the Testing Center will try to move the exam to another date so that the tester can avoid having to pay twice for the same exam. If the tester has scheduled for an exam they no longer need, and payment has been made, they can request a refund using the following steps:
Refunds to the original credit or debit card used will be administered within five business days. Processing fees from RegisterBlast cannot be refunded. Testers who do not contact the Testing Center during the windows mentioned above will be considered no shows and will not receive a refund. The Testing Center can only refund the fees that it has collected; processing fees or fees collected by third parties cannot be refunded by the Center.
