Testing Services

Utah Tech Testing Services are comprised of three (3) separate testing operations: a Student Testing Center, a Prometric Center, and a Professional Testing Center. The Student Testing Center is for Utah Tech students who need to take an exam for one of their classes. The Prometric Center is a partnership between Prometric and Utah Tech where many different certification exams can be taken. The Professional Testing Center can be used by both students and professionals for various paid tests: placement exams, credit-by-examination tests, and proctored exams for other colleges and universities.

  3. Students must have a valid photo ID and student number. (Student number not needed to take a placement test at the Professional Center).
  4. If a Scantron is needed for a test, the student will need to provide one. Scantrons can be purchased at the Utah Tech Bookstore, and in the vending machine at the Testing Center (Vending machine sells out often).

They will take this bag with them and place it under their desk. If they have a cell phone, it must be turned OFF and put into a small zipper bag located at the front desk.
  7. Each student will be given a seat or computer number designating where they should sit.
  8. Testing Center staff will check a student’s photo ID twice each time they test: first when they check in, and then again when they either have a password entered or turn in their paper test.
