Paper-based exams (for course with OSU Instructors)

OSU instructors who wish to allow their students to take paper-based exams at the OSU Testing Center should drop off or mail the exam to our center with the Proctored Exam Cover Sheet at the following address at least 24 hours before the scheduled exam time:

OSU Testing Center

Exams may be picked up by the course instructor or their designated representative with a valid photo ID card, or they can be returned to a campus location by a Testing Center staff member. If delivery is requested, please allow up to 48 hours for the exam to be returned.

Students who wish to take paper-based proctored exams should contact our office at (405) 744-5958 to schedule their exam approximately one week before they need to take the exam. They should then inform their instructor of their appointment date/time and ensure that the instructor has submitted the exam to the Testing Center at least 24-hours prior to the exam date as we are unable to track down tests that have not arrive by the test time. The cost for this paper-based exam is $15 for exams scheduled to last up to 2 hours and $15 per additional two-hour block. The cost must be paid by the student at the time of the exam. There is no fee for paper-based exams for OSU students with disabilities.
