The Centralized Testing Center (CTC) supports accessible and equitable exam experiences for students with approved OAE accommodations. Students and faculty can find information here about accommodated testing, exam coordination, CTC procedures, and what to expect before and during an exam.
About The CTC
The Centralized Testing Center (CTC) administers and proctors exams for students who are actively registered with the Office of Accessible Education (OAE), have approved testing accommodations and are actively enrolled in a course that is being proctored. Students are responsible for submitting exam requests through the OAE|CONNECT system. Administration of an exam at the CTC will mirror the classroom testing requirements as directed by the instructor, with the addition of the student’s approved accommodations. The CTC provides a reduced-distraction testing space, assistive technology (software and hardware), and trained staff to support accommodated testing.
