Typically students come to the TTC to take their accommodated or make-up tests. You will be informed by your course instructor and/or your academic department if you will be taking your test(s) with us.

Not necessarily. You'll be referred to the TTC by either your course instructor or the academic department. If you haven’t been told that you will be taking your test with the TTC, but you registered to take your test with us anyway, your testing session will be canceled.

The TTC offers make up tests for students who were unable to take their in-class test for unexpected and unplanned reasons, such as an illness or accident. Outside of this, the TTC doesn't offer unaccommodated testing. 

For unaccommodated tests through the Computer-Based Testing Facility, please visit CBTF for Students (link). 

We do require that students bring physical, photo ID. It’s preferable to use the UCSD ID, but we do accept government issued ID, such as driver’s licenses and passports. 

Neither digital IDs nor photos of IDs will be accepted. 

If you’re running late for your test, please notify us as quickly as possible either by emailing tritontesting@ucsd.edu or calling into the Virtual Front Desk . We allow a 15-minute grace period unless the instructor has advised us of a required start time. If you arrive within the 15-minute grace period, you're permitted to take your test, however you will only receive until your scheduled end time. No additional time will be granted. 

All test reservations after the 15-minute grace period will be canceled, no exceptions. Rescheduling may be permitted; however, it'll be dependent on seat availability and instructor approval. 

• It'll run into other students' testing time. There are several factors that come into play when scheduling your test. To serve numerous UCSD students each day, we have to strictly follow the testing schedule, and any delays can disrupt our operations. This is why it's essential to schedule your test at least 3 days in advance as we have started preparations for arranging the test files, staffing schedule, and testing room schedule. 
• We don't have the staff available. The TTC is an appointment-based facility and so our staff are scheduled to work at specific times. If you're late for your test, a staff member may be unavailable as the testing day has concluded. 
• Ensure fairness for all students. Our schedule is complex. Though we may be able to provide some students with the full time even if they're late, it'd be unfair to the students who arrive on time and the students who are tardy but aren't able to receive the full time. 

All tests administered by the TTC are proctored by real humans, either in person or on the other side of a camera (or both). This is to uphold the integrity of the exams taken in the TTC as well as to ensure your security and safety.  It’s important to know that all test-takers and staff are subject to being recorded by video at all times while in the TTC.   

No matter our proctors’ physical location, they’re there to promote an honest and fair testing environment. They’re also able to assist you with restroom breaks, questions for your instructor, or any other TTC related questions. 

Please see our Testing Day Information and Hours & Location pages for details.

Yes, once you’ve completed and submitted your test to a TTC staff member, you’re free to leave. 

However, some instructors require students to stay until a specified time. In this case, you will need to stay in your testing seat until the required time. This should be communicated to you by the instructor before your reservation and will be communicated by our staff during the check-in process. 

Please note that if you leave the testing room without authorization by TTC staff, your test may be marked as complete and submitted as-is to your instructor and you may not be permitted to continue testing.

The test is scanned directly to your instructor within one business day. 

Note: It's your instructor's responsibility to grade your test. You'll need to contact them if you have any questions or concerns regarding your score.
