TLC Lab Testing Procedures:

·        Students must present some type of photo ID.  Any student who does not have a picture ID will not be issued a test.  No exceptions.

·        Cell phones, back packs, purses, and any electronic equipment such as iPods are not allowed in the testing rooms. These items will be housed at the information desk while the student takes the exam. It is best, however, if students leave these items at home.

·        Bluebooks, scantrons, and scratch paper will be checked and stamped by a TLC employee.

·        Students are not allowed to leave the testing room for any reason after receiving test.

·        Tests will not be administered 1 hour prior to closing. Students should check the hours of the TLC Lab before coming to take a test.

 

Out-of-area students

·        Students who cannot come to either of the COC campuses to take their exams must find a suitable proctor in their area. Acceptable proctors can be found at colleges, universities, or public libraries.

·        Please get the following information from your proctor: name, email address, phone number, fax number, job title, and the name of institution. Send this information along with your name, instructor’s name, and class name to Renee McConnell at renee.mcconnell@canyons.edu.

·        The proctor will be contacted and confirmed before any exam information is sent. Once the exam has been sent, it is the student's responsibility to schedule an appointment with the proctor.
