Sioux Falls Testing Center

Testing

There are 18 computers installed with lockdown browsers ready for students to use for computer-based tests and paper-based tests. Our academic accommodation room is a great distraction-free zone and is also equipped with two test-ready computers (NOTE: Students can ask for sound-canceling earbuds). 

Schedule an Exam

Appointments are required for every exam taken at the Sioux Falls Testing Center. It is best to request an appointment by completing the form below at least 2 business days in advance or 1-2 weeks in advance during midterms and finals.

Each exam is scheduled for the entire amount of time allotted by the instructor; we cannot alter this time limit. If a time limit is not provided, we allow 2 1/2 hours. The system will not allow you to schedule for less time than allotted. In RegisterBlast, you will only see time slots are available. If you do not see a time during our regular business hours, that is an indication that they slots are full.

Schedule/Re-Schedule an Exam

If you do not see your course listed, please contact the Sioux Falls Testing Center at 605-274-9550. Do not set up your appointment if the Instructor for your course is not listed.

Proctor Services

Any student from any university can take a test at the Sioux Falls Testing Center; however, pre-approval from the instructor or institution offering the class is usually required. Once USD – Sioux Falls is approved as a proctor site, all students must register for their exam at least two days prior to the test date or 1-2 weeks in advance during midterms and finals. Once registered, an email will be sent confirming the exam appointment. Students requiring special accommodations need to contact their home school ADA/Disabilities Compliance Office to set-up appropriate accommodations and ensure proper documentation is in place.
