How Exam Locations are Determined
Fall and Spring Semesters
Full-time matriculated Newark-based students will test at the UD Online Testing Center in Newark unless documented testing accommodations are on file with the Office of Disability Support Services (DSS) and the student requests to test there.
Part-time students’ testing location will be based on the home address in UDSIS.
Summer and Winter Sessions
Delaware residents’ testing center assignments will be based on the home address in UDSIS.
Non-Delaware residents who are taking an on-campus class as well as an online course will test at the UD Online Testing Center in Newark.
Non-Delaware residents who are only taking an online class will receive an email inquiring about their living location during that session and their testing location will be based on their response.
Students cannot change testing locations during a semester. If you have any questions regarding your testing location, please contact udonline-exams@udel.edu.
Testing Center Rules and Policies
You must present a valid government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, state ID, military ID, passport, medical marijuana card, etc.) every time you come to test. A photo of the ID is not acceptable. A UD ID (ONEcard) is NOT a government-issued photo ID.
Your name on record must match your name on your government-issued photo ID. Head coverings are only permitted if they appear on your government-issued photo ID.
Do not bring food or drinks into the testing center. No gum is permitted.
No bathroom breaks are permitted.
All cell phones and personal items, including hats, hooded clothing, scarves, sunglasses, smart glasses, food, drinks, watches and fitness trackers, are to be stored per proctor instructions.
Any clothing worn into the testing center must remain on during the entire exam.
The testing center provides all pens, pencils, scrap paper and calculators as allowable by the professor.
Guests and children are not permitted in the testing center.
Pets are not permitted in the testing center, with the exception of service animals.
Studying is not permitted in the testing center.
Do not put your social security number on anything.
If you leave the testing center during your exam, your exam is considered complete.
When your exam is complete, log out of your class and report to the proctor to check out.
For exams which permit notes, please keep your papers confined to your workstation.

For exact time, note proctor instructions and time warning.
The University of Delaware Testing Centers in Newark, Dover and Georgetown adhere to a late policy for scheduled exams.
To minimize wait times and ensure available testing stations for students, exams are scheduled by appointment. Students must arrive within the first 15 minutes of their scheduled exam time, otherwise they may be required to reschedule their exam for another time or possibly another day.
We want to be respectful of everyone’s time and when we have a full schedule of appointments, we may be unable to give latecomers the full time allotted for their exams.
Familiarize yourself with the Testing Centers’ operating hours so that you schedule enough time to complete your exam before the facility closes. For example, if you have a two-hour exam and the Testing Center closes at 8 p.m., you should schedule your exam at 5:30 p.m. at the latest to account for time to park, store personal belongings, and check in.
Book your exams in advance for the entire semester. This will allow you to reserve the times most convenient for you, and you will receive email reminders for your upcoming exams.
Please be aware of the late policy and communicate directly with our office if you need support in any way related to abiding by our guidelines.
