Students writing with Testing Services must follow the rules of the Centres to uphold academic integrity in the testing environment.

Writing an assessment

Students writing in the Test Centre will be required to show photo ID in order to write an assessment (Humber Student Card, Guelph Humber Student Card, or Government issued ID is acceptable).

Students must book an appointment prior to their arrival at the Test Centre. For information on how to book an appointment, please visit: https://humber.ca/student-life/testing-services/schedule-your-test

Students should arrive about 15 minutes before their test/exam time.

Late arrivals beyond 15 minutes after the scheduled appointment time may not be accepted depending on exam duration and hours of operations.

Invigilators will assign seating within the assessment room.

Students are expected to comply with instructions given to them by the Testing Services invigilator or staff prior, during, and after testing while in the Centre. Only authorized materials will be permitted at student work station (as outlined on the test/exam referral form), all other items will be stored in storage bins outside of the testing lab (please note: we recommend students leave valuables at home or in their locker, as Testing Services is not responsible for lost or stolen items).  Students are permitted to bring some valuables into the testing room, but they must be placed in one of our plastic zip lock bags and stored under the desk. 

Electronic devices of any kind will not be permitted on the student’s workstation. Cell phones, all watches, iPods and other devices will be required to be turned off, and stored in a clear plastic zip lock bag and stored under the desk for the duration of the test. 

If a student is found in possession or accessing any unauthorized materials, devices, or participate in unauthorized behavior during their exam their test/exam will end and an incident report will be created and sent to the instructor for academic integrity violation review.  

During a test/exam, students can only communicate with Testing Services staff. The staff cannot give any guidance or answer questions regarding test/exam content.

Children are not allowed in the Test Centre and cannot be left unattended while any student is writing.

In case of emergency (fire alarm, lockdown), students are to follow the instructions of the Testing Services staff.

Testing Services will not administer tests/exams that are passed their write date/time.
