In order to provide the most efficient and consistent testing services to the students, the faculty needs to be specific as to the instructions and conditions under which examinations are to be administered. For this purpose, the University Testing Center has designed an online form for test submission. Click here to submit your test online. It is important that all applicable items be completed and that a separate request be filed for each exam (but note that one such form will suffice for several students taking the same test).

Since testing is by appointment, students are expected to make an appointment online. We would like to emphasize that testing space is limited, and making appointments early is necessary. The Testing Center requires appointments be made 48 hours in advance. Students may click here to make an appointment.

Faculty are encouraged to consider other testing sites for unmonitored, open-book, open-notes exams, or other tests where security is not an issue. Students allowed multiple aids (such as books, notes, calculators, spell checkers, etc.) are sometimes disturbing to other students; further, space in the testing room is sometimes at a premium.

The University Testing Center is not available for entire classroom testing. Please accommodate such needs through your department.

Students, too, have certain responsibilities in conjunction with their continued use of the University's testing facilities. Adherence to those responsibilities assures uniform test administration, which is in everyone's best interest.

Students agree to:

1. Make arrangements with the faculty to take the test at the University Testing Center (Perry Library, Fourth Floor, Room 4011).
2. Register online for a testing appointment at the Testing Center (at least two days in advance).
3. Contact the Testing Center as early as possible to cancel their appointment if circumstances prevent their keeping the appointment. Repeated failure to do so may jeopardize future use of the Testing Center facilities.
4. Clear any changes in appointment time, date, or conditions with their instructor if such changes are needed. This should be done prior to rescheduling with the Testing Center.
5. Remind their instructor of your test appointment within a reasonable amount of time prior to the test date, and inform them they must send the test to the Testing Center.
   
6. Arrive on time. Failure to arrive when scheduled frequently impacts students who are scheduled for later times and sometimes limits the time available to complete the examination. Because of limited seating, after 15 minutes it will be assumed that you are a "no show" and your seat may be given away. YOU MUST WEAR A MASK OR THE UNIVERSITY TESTING CENTER WILL REFUSE TO TEST YOU. NO EXCEPTIONS!! You must adhere to the University's COVID-19 guidelines.
7. Take bathroom breaks before entering the test room, whenever possible. Bathroom breaks taken during a timed exam are part of the total test time; therefore, one will have less actual time for the exam.
8. Take only those items to your desk which are authorized by the instructor. No electronic devices, food or drinks are allowed.
   
9. Make appropriate arrangements for child care, etc. prior to entering the Testing facility. Babies, children of any age, parents, spouses, friends, and helpers are not allowed in the testing room.

Due to the nature of ProctorU exams and the need for a quiet space where others are not present/you're not disturbing others, the University Testing Center is unable to allow students to test via ProctorU in our lab.

Click here for more information from Distance Learning about ProctorU.

Please register through our online registration system to schedule your test date and time. Test are administered on the fourth floor of the Perry Library in the University Testing Center. **If you are NOT an ODU student but looking to have your Accuplacer exam from another school proctored, please click here to visit the Credentialing Center.

For students outside the Hampton Roads area, remote ACCUPLACER testing is an available option.

ACCUPLACER is offered at numerous Universities and Community Colleges across the United States.

Virtual Testing is also an option.

You must register with us before you can sit for the placement test at another location. Please complete the registration form for additional information regarding remote testing.

NOTE: There may be a fee associated with remote testing.

The ACCUPLACER Math Placement Test is used for placement into a math course at ODU, therefore, once a student has enrolled/completed any math course at ODU they are not eligible to take the ACCUPLACER Math Placement Test.

Eligible students are allowed to take the ACCUPLACER Math Placement Test twice in a semester.

ACCUPLACER offers a Web-Based Study App that will familiarize you with the basic content and experience. Please visit https://accuplacer.collegeboard.org/students for more information.
