University College Testing Services for Faculty and Students
USF University College seeks to foster the development and practice of effective academic assessment for all students enrolled in Distance Learning courses. To this end, we encourage faculty to perform all assessment within their online course framework. If assistance is needed, the Center for 21st Century Teaching Excellence regularly conducts workshops on assessment in online courses.
If online assessment is not possible, University College - Testing Services are available to students registered in eligible* USF distance learning courses as defined by
the Florida State Legislature.
*Please contact the University College Testing Services Coordinator for eligibility requirements.
Testing services are provided on a first-come, first-served and space available basis; therefore, faculty and students are encouraged to submit their requests early in the semester in order to maximize their chances for proctoring accommodations.
General guidelines and options available for Distance Learning students to access and utilize USF University College Testing Services are outlined below:
General Guidelines for Testing/Proctoring Services
- These services are intended for students enrolled in eligible USF Online Distance Learning courses who are unable to attend instructor scheduled on-campus exams
- Eligible USF Online students may use on-campus USF University College Testing Services at no charge
- Students who test off-campus will be responsible for any applicable testing/proctoring fees
- Note: USF ID is the preferred form of examinee verification.
- Students should not bring large bags to Testing Services when taking an exam due to limited storage space.
