Testing Center
The Testing Center provides accommodated testing for students who qualify, make up exams, and simulated testing experiences to assist students in preparing for licensure and board exams.
The types of services offered at the Testing Center include testing for students with approved accommodations, make-up exams for any student who misses an exam, licensure and board exam simulations for any student, regardless of accommodations.
Now let's go over the proper procedures to follow when you arrive for your exam.
Students who arrive more than 10 minutes after their exam start time may have to reschedule their exam or will need program approval. Individual lockers are available to all test takers and include combination locks that can be changed after each use.
Don't forget to bring your student I.D. with you as you will need it to check in for your exam. If your exam requires you to scan a QR code, do so before the exam starts.
Only authorized items outlined by the student's program are allowed on the desktop while testing. These items are the student's laptop, laptop charger, mouse and mouse pad.
Drinks and snacks are allowed while testing, but are subject to inspection and cannot be distracting to others.
Out of respect for other test takers, please enter and exit the exam room as quietly as possible.
Restroom breaks are allowed during the test. No need to ask for permission. However, if the restroom is occupied, students should return to their seat until it becomes available.There should not be anyone waiting outside the restroom during a test.
Once your exam is uploaded, you're free to go. Just remember to return your scratch paper to the proctor, as it should not leave the testing center.
And that wraps up our overview of the Touro University Nevada Testing Center. If you have any questions or need further information, feel free to reach out and good luck with your exams.

Testing Accommodations
Approved students may benefit from testing accommodations based on the individual need, such as a time and a half accommodation (1.5x), providing extra time to complete tests in a reduced distraction environment.
To request testing accommodations, please contact the ADA Learning Specialist in the Office of Academic Services and Institutional Support (OASIS).
Makeup Exams
Students who miss a test can utilize available space in the Testing Center to make up the exam. Instructors or program staff can coordinate with students and the Testing Center to schedule a time to complete the makeup exam.
Licensure & Board Exam Simulations
Simulated exams through the Testing Center offer an opportunity for students to gain additional practice with exam material and familiarize yourself with the testing environment so you are better prepared for your licensure & board exams.
Exam simulations can be scheduled individually by any student, regardless of accommodation status. Group simulations can be scheduled by program faculty. Simulation requests are based on space availability.
