The Office of the Provost is excited to announce the grand opening of a state-of-the-art University Testing Center that offers online testing options for entire classes or individual students in a quiet, convenient, secure space.
Located in Room B10 of the newly renovated Hodges Hall, the site features a 200-seat primary computer lab and an eight-seat quiet room for less distracting testing options.
Faculty and instructors may book the entire space for course/class exams or open a window of availability to allow students to schedule seats at their own convenience.
All workstations feature a new, all-in-one PC for eCampus compatible testing that permits optimum functionality and security through various set-up options, including offering Blackboard-based testing and automatically incorporating Respondus LockDown Browser.
To maximize security, the room is monitored by security cameras and hosts a check-in / check-out station where students are required to present valid WVU IDs through Navigate. The Testing Center will work with academic departments and faculty to arrange proctoring if it is desired.
Test takers may select their own workstation through a visual floorplan, safely store their belongings below their seat and take their test through a secure network on a hardwired PC, which may reduce the likelihood of hardware or connection-based failures during testing.
There may also be more opportunities to utilize this space for other forms of assessment and certification in the near future.
The Testing Center is open during ordinary class hours from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
To arrange for a tour or discuss scheduling options, including make-up exams, please contact Beth Bosley at WVUTestingCenter@mail.wvu.edu.
