Student Testing Regulations

The following regulations govern students taking exams. When taking an exam in a supervised setting, the proctor represents your instructor. The proctor is required to report any suspected violation of the University of Pittsburgh's Academic Integrity Guidelines to the CIDDE Testing Services. Please read the following regulations carefully.

Students taking a supervised exam must:

  1. Show photo identification, such as a University of Pittsburgh ID or driver's license.

  2. Sign & date the Exam Verification Form in the presence of the proctor.

  3. Leave all books, study guides, electronic devices, notes or other materials with the proctor unless otherwise indicated on the cover sheet of the exam. Use of cell phones, iPods, or any other electronic device will result in failing the exam.

  4. Have the memory of a calculator cleared before and after an exam by the proctor.

  5. Complete the exam to the best of your ability within the time limit on the exam cover sheet.

  6. Not engage in coversation or communication with other students while taking an exam.

  7. Remain in the testing area while working on the exam. Under no circumstances is a student permitted to leave the area before the exam is completed.
