On campus testing is held at the Educational Testing Center (ETC), which is a 25-station computer lab. Instructors will notify students if testing in the ETC is required. You must schedule an appointment to take an exam at the ETC. (see below)
ETC Location: Room 509, Carilion Roanoke Community Hospital (CRCH)
Hours: The lab is open 24/7. During posted testing hours, access to the lab will be limited. If the ETC is closed for testing, please use one of the other on-campus computer labs:
The ETC proctors tests by appointment only. If you need to test in the ETC, please schedule an appointment through Starfish no later than 24 hours before your exam. The ETC is unable to schedule appointments less than 24 hours in advance.
Make-up tests are arranged between the professor and student first. Once it has been determined that a student is allowed to take a make-up test, the student should schedule a time slot using Starfish (see above). The professor must provide any needed materials.

There are two options for students to complete exams off-campus when necessary: an online proctoring service (Respondus Monitoring) or an in-person proctor. RUC faculty will work with students to determine which is appropriate for that exam.

Testing fees are not required for the use of this service.
