For those students who choose to test online, from the comfort of their home, they will be sent an email from onlineplacementtest@humber.ca or noReply@accuplacer.info within 10 days of registering for their online test. Students completing a Health Sciences Admissions test or an English Admissions test receive their voucher details email directly from our testing site, Accuplacer and is entitled Remote Voucher Notification.  Those completing an English and Math admissions test or a Math admissions test will recieve an email from onlineplacementtest@humber.ca  and this email is entitled Online Admissions Testing Reminder. This email will contain instructions for how to book your test and your unique voucher(s) you will require to access your test.  Once you have this email, you can proceed to book your test.  We recommend booking and testing as soon as possible to update the status of your program.  Your voucher will expire, and the expiration date is communicated in the voucher email you receive.

You will receive a confirmation email from our online testing partner (Examity).  You will require valid photo ID to present to the proctor at the time of your test.  When your test date and time comes, your test now button will become clickable and you can begin the testing process.  You will require a few minutes to get setup and established with the proctor and input some personal information before you proceed to your test.

Students can find resources to help them prepare for their tests here.

Students who choose to complete their test online, will be tested in the same manner as students testing in person.  All testing is done online via a secure web connection.  Students will be monitored by a virtual proctor, who will be monitoring students via their webcam.  When you start your test, you will be required to show photo ID and complete a room scan, so the proctor can verify there is no one around and you do not have access to unauthorized materials.  The proctor will be able to control your computer and see what you are doing at all times during the test.  The test will end should academic integrity be compromised.  You may also be asked to do repeated room scans should concerns arise, including people entering the space you are testing in, talking to other people or glancing away from your computer screen.  The online testing video is available to the Manager, Testing & Integrated Services for review should any concerns arise.

All vouchers have an expiration date and students must test PRIOR to the expiration date of the voucher. All vouchers are valid for 30 days.  Please review your voucher email for the expiration date.  Students who fail to test prior to the voucher expiration date will be required to rebook and repay for their admission test.

How to read an expiration date?

For example, if your voucher is valid until: Wed Feb 06 00:00:00 UTC 2019, this means it will expire on 02/05/2019 7:00 PM EST. 

Once you have completed your admissions test, the Registrar's Office will update you regarding the status of your application approximately 2-3 weeks after testing.

The length of your test depends on the components required for your program.  Please note that all components of your test are to be completed during one appointment and you cannot complete one module at a time.
