OU Testing Center General Policies and Procedures

Scheduling

• No same-day or walk-in appointments are available.
• Students must make appointments at least 72 hours (3 days) before the exam date. It is recommended students schedule exams one to two weeks (if not more) in advance.
• Testing Services is closed on all school holidays and as posted. Any unforeseen closures will be posted on our website and communicated by email or campus communication to faculty and staff. Hours and closures are available on the OU Testing Center website.
• If a student attempts to schedule later than 72 hours, our system will show as full and they will need to reach out to their professor to get approval for a new time.   
• If a student does not schedule an appointment in RegisterBlast, they will not be allowed to test as we do not take walk-in appointments.
