Student Information

The BYU Salt Lake Testing Center is an extension of Brigham Young University Testing Center in Provo, and In accordance with the Church Educational System Honor Code, requires all individuals enrolled in classes at the BYU Salt Lake Center to observe the Honor Code Standards approved by the Board or Trustees.

Two specific policies embodied in the Honor Code that apply specifically to students who use the testing center include:

1. Academic Honesty Policy
2. Dress and Grooming Standards

Final Examination Policy

Final examinations will be given at the times shown in your class syllabus. Examinations are not given early. The examination period is preceded by exam preparation days, which give time for conscientious review, study, and synthesis of the semester’s work. The preparation and the examination periods are firmly scheduled parts of the semester; you must not make plans that interfere with these important academic activities. If illness or other uncontrollable circumstances prevent you from taking an examination at the scheduled time, you are responsible to inform the class instructor as soon as possible. Your instructor may give the grade Incomplete, depending on the circumstances. The incomplete cannot be given unless you and your instructor together prepare a contractual agreement.

Final exams for BYU Salt Lake Center classes are typically scheduled at the same time the class met during the semester. Should a conflict arise between the schedules of a day class final exam on campus and a BYU Salt Lake Center exam, priority rests with the day class exam. It is the responsibility of the student to make the conflict known to the BYU Salt Lake Center instructor so an alternative time can be arranged.

What You Need to Take a Test

Before you come to take your test, make sure you have the following:

• Your Student ID card or a government–issued ID card. We can’t take Credit Cards as ID.
• A #2 pencil, if you are taking a multiple–choice test. If you don’t have a #2 pencil, you may purchase a pencil at the Testing Center for 30 cents. We do not have pens available for sale.
• Any other materials necessary for your test as authorized by your teacher. You will not be able to use any materials which your teacher did not authorize. Also, you will not be allowed to go out to get anything you have forgotten once you check out your test. If you need to get something, get it before you come.
• Money for any late fees.  Some teachers allow an extra day for their tests to be taken if their students pay a late fee. If you take a test on a late day, your student financial account will be charged automatically.
• The correct date and times for your test. You can find out when your test will be administered through the Deadlines page. Please note any special end dates for your test (for example, tests can end at 2:00 p.m. on the last day) and be aware they represent the last possible time when you can start your test, and not the time you need to be finished.
• Plenty of time to take your test. Please note the time the Testing Center closes (click here for times). You will not be allowed to stay and finish your test after the Testing Center closes,  nor will you be allowed to take the test home to finish it and return it in the morning. When our clock says it is time to close, all tests will be collected.

Procedure for Taking Tests

1. Show your government–issued picture ID or BYU Student ID card.
2. Have your scratch paper ready to be stamped.
3. Turn off your cell phone or any other electronic device. Cell phones must not be answered during testing.
4. Purchase a pencil or check out a calculator before you enter the testing room.
5. Pay any late fees.

Calculators and PDA’s

We are aware of the increasing number of students using PDA’s. Since these devices are capable of storing almost any type of data, you cannot use your PDA unless your teacher has classified your test as open book. If the test you are taking is not open book, you are not allowed to use your PDA for any reason, not even as a calculator. If you need a calculator for your test, we will be happy to provide one for you.

Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices

Before entering the testing room, you must turn off your cell phone, MP3 player, pager, or any other electronic device you have with you. Any use of a cell phone or other electronic device is strictly prohibited. If your cell phone rings while you are taking a test, or if you are found to be using any unauthorized electronic device for any purpose, your cell phone or electronic device will be confiscated. If you need to leave your cell phone or pager on for emergency purposes, it must be left with the Testing Center personnel.
