Course Testing

• Check the hours and locations
• Bring a photo ID. If you do not have a photo ID you will not be able to test.
• You will not be able to leave the testing room without submitting your work, finished or unfinished. It is advisable to use the restroom before you come to take your test.
• Be prepared to know the following information:
  • Your instructor’s name
  • Your class code (e.g. PSYC 200, BIOL 120)
  • Your test name (e.g. Test 1, Midterm, Quiz 2)
• Cell phones, smart watches and other electronic devices are prohibited in the testing room. Cell phone lockers and cubbies for storage are available in the testing center lobby.
• Student TI-Nspire calculators cannot be used on exams in the Testing Center, unless otherwise noted by the course instructor. One may be borrowed from Testing Services (CX CAS model).  Other graphing calculators that have programs saved may be required to be reset, or a similar graphing calculator may be borrowed.
• The only materials allowed at your desk are the materials allowed for your test, as noted by your instructor.
• Instructors can contact Testing Services directly to extend their exam due dates.

You may also request to test at an approved off-campus (non-LCC) testing site, typically another college testing center. Test proctoring fees may apply at non-LCC testing centers. If you need assistance locating a proctor, contact us at 517-267-5501 or email lcc_online_testing@lcc.edu.

Requests to test at a non-LCC testing site must be submitted at least 5 days in advance of the open date of your exam, in order to ensure your site is approved, and that there is time to send test information and materials to your testing site. Once your non-LCC site is approved, all tests will be sent to that offsite proctor for the semester.

Complete the Proctor Request Form to designate your proctor.
