Tests & Services

UC Testing Services serves as a test center for outside schools or institutions that offer online or correspondence courses. These can be taken in our facility as either paper and pencil or online tests. The cost to take a proctored non-UC test is $35 for the first 2 hours of testing and $5 an hour for every hour after that. Our center offers test takers the option to take their tests in a private room for additional fees, unless testing accommodations are required. 

You can register and pay for your proctoring appointment here. To set up an exam to be proctored by our office, first contact your school or institution to receive permission to take your test at UC.

If contact information is needed, provide them with the following information:

• UC Testing Services
  2815 Commons Way 
  French Hall West, Suite 1000
  Cincinnati, OH 45221
  Email: testing@uc.edu

It is the test taker's responsibility to ensure that your school or institution sends the test along with detailed proctoring and return instructions. Test takers are responsible for bringing an addressed and stamped envelope or paid courier envelope and label if the test must be mailed back. Testing Services will not cover the cost for return shipping.

Tests may be sent to us via mail, email, USPS, or courier service. Please be advised that USPS estimated times might be delayed by 1 or 2 days since the test must go through our campus mail system. It is your responsibility to make sure the exam materials are received by us in time to meet any exam deadlines put in place by your institution. Please schedule all tests at least 2 days prior to the testing date. Tests must be completed by the time our office closes on the day of testing.

Once you are given permission to take your exam here, you may set up an appointment during our normal Proctored Test Hours. Our registration system can be accessed here. We recommend that you contact us and confirm receipt of the exam prior to your appointment. Be sure to pay close attention to when your test must be received by your institution, and make your appointment with plenty of time to account for test return via the US Postal Service or a courier.
