Alternative Time for a Classroom Test (Make-Up Exams)

Students must follow Testing Center procedures to schedule make-up exams for Missouri S&T courses. The Testing Center will not approve make-up exam requests without instructor approval.  

The Testing Center makes every effort to proctor requested S&T make-up exams. However, seating is limited and during busy times (e.g. common exams, midterms, finals) the Testing Center may not be able to proctor the exam at the requested time. 

Students are expected to communicate with their instructor before submitting a request to take a make-up exam in the Testing Center. The instructor will decide if and when a make-up test will be administered and if the test will be taken in the Testing Center.   

Students with instructor approval should submit a make-up exam request by completing the Student Test Registration Form. (Button or link going to the form.) 

Testing Center staff will then contact the instructor to confirm approval of the exam and for approved requests proctoring instructions and the exam. 

When an instructor approves a make-up request, the Testing Center will send the student an email confirming the approval and providing exam day instructions. 

Students with questions about their make-up exam requests, should contact the Testing Center at testctr@mst.edu or (573) 341-4222. 

Arrive at the Testing Center on time. If you arrive late, the Testing Center will proceed according to the instructions provided by your instructor. All exams must be completed during Testing Center hours.  

Bring photo identification to the Testing Center. A Missouri S&T ID, driver’s license, state ID, passport, or other ID with your name and photo on it are acceptable.  

Only items allowed for your exam can be brought into the testing room. Food and drink are not allowed in the testing room. Lockers are available to secure other items.  

Turn in the exam when time is up. Testing Center staff will place a timer where you can view your remaining time. When time is up, stop writing and return all test materials to Testing Center staff.
