UF Distance Learning Exams

Registration and Payment

Distance Learning exams are given on a walk-in basis, no advance registration is required. However, UF DL exams must be taken within 30 days of their arrival at CAT.

Seating for Distance Learning exams is done in accordance with the amount of time needed for testing. Examinees can be seated after 8:30am, but must be seated with enough time to complete the exam. For example, if the exam is 3 hours long, and we close at 8pm that day, the student cannot be seated past 5:00pm.

There is no payment required for UF DL exams.

Testing Center Guidelines

1. Students must present either a valid FSU ID card with a clear photo or a government-issued ID with photo and signature.
   
   
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, before or after being seated, 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 may not bring loose papers (study guides, notes, or blank paper) into the testing room, unless specified in the instructions on their exam. If scratch paper is provided, it must be turned in before leaving.
   
   
4. Calculators are not provided by CAT, and if they are allowed by the professor for the exam, the student must bring his/her own.
   
   
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 student 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. CAT is not responsible for students' grades. Students are responsible for taking any disputes to the instructor. This includes concerns about test questions/answers, scores, or concerns about being turned away for any reason.
   
   
8. Computers in the testing room may not be used for any purpose other than to take exams. Any student caught attempting to use computers for any other purpose will be asked to leave immediately - regardless if the exam has started or not.
