Overview
Within Student Accessibility Services, the Testing Center supports the university's efforts to ensure student success by administering exams and quizzes to students with approved exam/quiz accommodations. The Testing Center administers approximately 2,500 exams/quizzes per semester.
Under certain circumstances, students who do not receive accommodations as a part of Student Accessibility Services can take exams/quizzes through our Testing Center. The Testing Center also proctors Make-up Exam (non-SAS students), CLEP Exam (college level exam), Graduate Waiver Exam (COB students only) and ETS (educational testing services). Please see below for more information on how to request the correct exam.
The Testing Center is located on the second floor of the Technology Building. Test takers can report to the Testing Center directly at the time of their scheduled exam. All exam requests that are not during the time of the original exam require instructor approval.

Alternative testing is a common accommodation as many disabilities impact testing. We do provide testing in the testing center for students registered with a disability and who are entitled to testing accommodations. Many students elect to take their exams in the testing center as it is distraction-reduced. However, students must have registered with our office for the semester in which they are using our accommodations and have given us at least three business days' notice. This notice allows us the time necessary to contact the student's instructor and arrange to have a copy of the exam on the day and time it is due. Not all exams and quizzes require a trip to our office and scheduling them remains the student's responsibility. If the student or the student's instructor have any questions regarding testing accommodations, please contact our office at testing@ut.edu.
If you are currently receiving exam/quiz accommodations through Student Accessibility Services, you must submit your exam/quiz request through your Accommodate portal. Accommodate is available on your MyUTampa. Any student currently receiving exam/quiz accommodations who submits any request outside of Accommodate will not have that request honored.
In addition, all exam/quiz requests must be submitted 72 business hours in advance, otherwise, students will not be accommodated at the Testing Center.
As a helpful way to remember when you can submit requests, use the following example for an exam at 10 a.m.:
- If your exam is on Monday at 10 a.m., your request is due by 10 a.m. on the Wednesday before the exam.
- If your exam is on Tuesday at 10 a.m., your request is due by 10 a.m. on the Thursday before the exam.
- If your exam is on Wednesday at 10 a.m., your request is due by 10 a.m. on the Friday before the exam.
- If your exam is on Thursday at 10 a.m., your request is due by 10 a.m. on the Monday before the exam.
- If your exam is on Friday at 10 a.m., your request is due by 10 a.m. on the Tuesday before the exam.
