Testing Center

 The University Testing Center serves the PSU community by providing a place where people may take exams for purposes other than fulfilling PSU course requirements. These include international standardized tests (ACT, TOEFL, GRE, MCAT, etc.) as well as tests for other universities. The University Testing Center is bound by the policies of the test provider and cannot make exceptions to test provider policies. Please note payments to the University Testing Center are non-refundable.

FAQs

  • Do you give the "_____" test?
    • If it is a Prometric, or listed on the "other exams" list, we most likely offer that exam.

  • Can I come and take the "_____" today?
    • WALK-INS ARE NOT ALLOWED.
  • If the weather is bad, will the University Testing Center be closed?
    • The decision to close the University Testing Center will be made by NOON the previous day. The best available information, at that time, from the National Weather Service for the next day's forecast for the Pittsburg area will inform the decision. The decision is unrelated to any PSU campus or Rave Alert announcement. If the Center is closed, Prometric will contact you, as soon as possible, about the Center's closing and rescheduling the exam.
  • "I'm not able to come in to take my test, how do I reschedule and will I get my money back?"
    • Candidates will reschedule their exam the same way they originally scheduled the exam. Reimbursement is NOT promised and is NOT the responsibility of the University Testing Center.
