The Testing Office assist instructors in offering proctoring services for students whom need to make up an exam.  Please review your course syllabus or contact your instructor for their specific make-up policies.   If your instructor allows you to take your exam in the Testing Center, we will follow your instructors directions in regards to administering your exam.

Students that require ADA accommodations during testing need to contact the Disability Support Services office (DSS) at 410-777-2306. The DSS office will be able to assist you with assessing your needs and filling out the appropriate paper work. For more information please visit DSS website.

Please visit the National College Testing Association's website to find an approved test center.
