1. PICTURED ID-- Pictured ID is required. A GTC student ID, driver's license and/or passport are all acceptable forms of pictured ID. Unfortunately without a proper ID, test proctors are not allowed to issue any testing materials.

2. RESTROOM BREAKS --It is advised that students take care of rest room stops before entering the exam area. Once an exam has been issued, test proctors are not allowed to have students leave and return to the testing room for any reason. Upon exiting the room, all testing material must be turned in. Instructors may provide special need students with waivers to this rule as needed. Documentation of waiver must accompany exam.

3. NOTE: No CELL PHONES, Beepers, Electronic Devices, Purses, or Book Bags of any kind can be taken into the testing room. Proctor visually monitors students taking a test. Closed circuit cameras are also used to monitor activity in the testing center Any irregularities in the administration process are reported to the instructor and to the Dean of Online College.

4. UNATTENDED CHILDREN--Children are not allowed in the room used for testing. Further, children are not allowed to be unsupervised on GTC campus. Please review student catalog.

5. QUIET PLEASE --One of the purposes of the Testing Center is to provide you with a quiet, undisturbed environment. Please take special care as you arrive and leave to maintain that quiet atmosphere.  Standing outside the testing room to talk to other students entering and exiting the area is prohibited.

6 .  TESTING MATERIAL --Your instructor will tell you the items you must provide. They will specify if pen or pencil is to be used, or if you must provide a scantron or Blue Book. Testing proctors are not allowed to change part of the instructor's directions or requirements. A limited number of calculators are available for students to borrow. Your ID will be held to secure return of borrowed item.

7.  PROCESS -- Use the computer to log-in to request testing materials in front of the testing center lobby.

After you have completed the exam, you must return materials to the test proctor and log-out.

8.  VIOLATION OF RULES --If a student violates the directions established by an instructor, or the guidelines of the testing center, the proctor has the right to collect the exam early: for example, if the directions say "no class notes" but you have your notes out. If the proctor asks for your exam early, please turn in your exam and leave. The proctor will inform the instructor. Any further discussion should be directed to your instructor, not to the testing proctor.

9. CLOSING TIME --If you come to take a test during the evening hours, understand that you must complete your test by the scheduled closing time. Students will be given a 5 minute warning.
