Testing Center
The BGSU Testing Center provides secure exam proctoring for students at BGSU. We support students who need a monitored testing environment, including those with approved accommodations, make-up exams, and select placement or external exams.
Most exams require an appointment scheduled in advance. Seating is limited, so early scheduling is recommended.
Priority scheduling is given to students approved for testing accommodations through BGSU Accessibility Services.
