Testing Center Guidelines

1. Students must present a valid FSU ID card with a clear photo to be able to check in. No other form of ID will be accepted (e.g. FL Driver's License, SSN, Blackboard User ID). Any students who leave to retrieve their FSU ID card or obtain a new card must return in time to be seated by the cutoff time.
   
   
2. Students' cell phones must be turned off completely while in the testing room (UCC1100). If a student's cell phone vibrates, makes any alert or sound, or is otherwise found to be on in the testing room, the student's exam will be terminated and/or the student will forfeit the chance to test. Students must wait until they exit the testing room prior to turning their cell phone back on.
   
   
3. Students must adhere to the FSU Academic Honor Code. Students caught cheating, falsifying identification, accessing any personal belongings, or engaging in suspicious behavior will have their exam terminated and will not be allowed back in CAT for the remainder of the semester. A report will be sent to the Departmental Coordinator and may result in academic and/or legal repercussions.
   
   
4. Students may not bring loose papers (study guides, notes, or blank paper) into the testing room.
   
   
5. Hats, head gear, wraps, etc. may not be worn during exams (except that which is prescribed for religious purposes).
   
   
6. Students are expected to exhibit proper decorum when using CAT facilities. Violations of the following rules may result in the examinee being expelled from CAT for the remainder of the semester.
   
   • There is no talking in the testing room, except to proctors.
   • Leaving the testing room with any test content (questions, directions, etc.) or with any student responses is strictly prohibited.
   • Inappropriate behavior towards CAT staff or other students will result in dismissal from CAT.
   
   
7. Examinees will receive their unofficial scores at the end of the testing session. CAT is not responsible for students' official score reports. Students should contact the Modern Language Department for any questions about their scores.
   
   
8. Computers in the testing room may not be used for any purpose other than to take exams. Any examinee caught attempting to use computers for any other purpose will be asked to leave immediately - regardless if the exam has started or not.
