    Testing Center. Check in at the front desk with your University ID.

    and hang the ID badge with your ID on the hook on your computer.
  3. Fill out all of the information at the top of the official scratch paper and sign the Academic Integrity Statement.
    Do not write anything below the top area until the proctor enters the password and begins your test.
  4. Log into your class and access your assessment.
  5. There is a light installed at your computer station. When you have logged in and are ready to begin the test,
    turn on the light using the red button, and a proctor will come to put the password in for you.

    time and a proctor will come to help you. Note: The proctor cannot assist you with questions about the
    assessment or the use of a calculator.

    instructor.
