Take an Exam for an IUPUI Class

Take exams outside the classroom

Some instructors require students to take proctored course exams. A proctored exam is taken outside the classroom, but is administered and supervised by testing center staff. We offer four computer labs for students taking exams for specific courses at IUPUI and IU Online courses.

Course exams are offered in the basement of the Engineering Science and Technology Building (SL070).

For parking information, please refer to the IUPUI Parking Operations page.

Students needing Duo (2 factor authentication) access for SL070 testing should read this information from the IU Knowledge Base. The tester should have the Duo mobile application downloaded onto their phone or have a Duo token.

The Center for Teaching and Learning provides many resources for faculty wanting to create online assessments. ​ Go to the CTL site for additional information concerning the integration of technology into your teaching and classroom assessments.

Check availability

The IUPUI Testing Center delivered over 34,000 exams in 2023. We encourage students to schedule exams early using the REGISTERBLAST link in their Canvas course. Students are strongly advised to sign up for the Final Exam reservations as soon as possible to obtain their preferred date and time. Certain dates and times tend to fill up quickly. 

For instructors: schedule a classroom testing session

Faculty and instructors should contact cltest@iupui.edu to receive additional information about the classroom assessment option for testing. The default testing software for SL070 is CANVAS.

Faculty must schedule and administer at least one regular exam in our SL070 Testing Center to receive consideration to have their final proctored in our location. Finals week is a very busy time and priority must be given to our current faculty users. Submitting a late exam request do not guarantee that space is available during this week. 

Registerblast is the new scheduling system utilized for resource and space management. Instructors need to schedule their testing sessions through this application. Additional information about the process can be found at https://kb.iu.edu/search?q=registerblast&s=15

Instructors wishing to use software, other than CANVAS, must contact Leah Kirkpatrick (cltest@iupui.edu) before the first week of classes for the current semester. The Testing Center will notify the instructor if the request is accepted and compatible with other programs used within the SL070 lab. The Testing Center works in collaboration with UITS to meet its' technology needs. Formal requests for software must be approved prior to being installed in the testing environment.

Tests, with extensive graphics/pictures, should format their pictures as .png extensions. 

Faculty/Instructors are strongly encouraged to test their exams in the SL070 environment prior to opening the exams to students. Certain graphics may not be compatible with the lockdown browser utilized in the labs.

Hours of Operation: Monday through Thursday 9:00 AM- 7:00 PM, Friday 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Saturday 9:00 AM- 3:00 PM. Closed Sunday and University Holidays.
