Information for students requesting out of town proctored exams :

Students who choose to take their exam at a location other than the DELO Testing Center at WKU need to do two steps:

STEP 1. Schedule your exam time with your chosen proctored site.

If you wish to have your exam proctored at a site not on the list of preapproved proctors (links located at the bottom of this page), you will need to make arrangements with a local community college or university. Other approved supervisory personnel (proctors) include directors of independent study programs, directors of testing or counseling services, directors of admissions, or academic deans. Non-administrative faculty members will not be approved to receive and administer these exams. Students on active duty in military service, or their dependents, may take the examination under the supervision of their base education officer or someone designated by that officer.

To allow time for processing,

Please submit your exam request form ten days before your testing date if you are taking a paper exam.

Please submit your exam request form 72 hours before your testing date if you are taking a online exam.

Some institutions may charge a fee, so you should ask when you make your arrangements to test at that site. The DELO Testing Center at Western Kentucky University does not charge a fee for proctoring WKU students.

STEP 2. Fill out the Examination Request Form.(Link is at the bottom of the page)

You should receive email confirmation within 72 hours of your request. Be sure to set your email spam blocker or filter to allow messages to come from delo.testing @ wku.edu.

Please remember that if you are taking a paper exam at a remote location your exam will be sent via UPS to the exam center you request, so you must make your request at least ten days prior to your exam date. Exams are mailed back to our office via a prepaid envelope; if you would like for it to reach us faster we recommend you take an express mail or overnight paid package with you to the examination center.

Be prepared to show a valid photo ID prior to taking your exam at any proctored location.

If you have any questions, please call our office at 270-745-5122 or 270-745-2106, or email us at delo.testing@wku.edu.
