Parking for Testing Center at Garrett Conference Center
- Parking on the WKU campus is a challenge. You will need to give yourself plenty of time to get a visitor parking pass and find a parking spot.
- To obtain a visitor parking pass go to the Office of Parking and Transportation located about a mile south of the main campus at 578 Campbell Lane. Temporary passes are good for one day only. The cost is $2.
- The one day pass allows you to park in any spot EXCEPT gated, handicapped, or metered parking spaces. If you are unable to find parking near the Garrett Conference Center your one day pass will allow you to park in the Parking Structures located at the bottom of the hill. The WKU inner-loop shuttle bus picks up in front of the structures every 10 to 15 minutes and brings people to the top of the hill.
- Parking meters on the WKU campus have a 45 minute maximum time allotment.
- If your test is going to take 45 minutes or less you may park in the metered spaces along the front of the Wetherby Administration Building or in the Old Fort parking lot next to the Garrett Conference Center. If your test is going to be longer than 45 minutes you must get a one day pass from the Parking and Transporation Office.
- If you have any questions or concerns about parking on the WKU campus you may contact the Parking and Transportation Office at (270) 745-2361.

- You must show a current photo ID before you will be allowed to take an exam at either testing location. Valid forms of ID are: WKU Student ID, state-issued driver’s license, passport, or other government issued photo ID.
- Testing Times
- The time you reserve for your exam is the time that your exam starts. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late for your exam and testing center is full, you will not be allowed to take the test and will have to reschedule. You will not be given an extension of time if you start your test late.
- Personal Items
- All personal items, purses, hats, cell phones, PDAs, books, papers, etc. must be stored in storage bins. Individual storage for personal items is available inside the testing room. All cell phones must be turned off inside the testing center.

- Food and drink
- No food or drink of any kind will be allowed inside the testing room.
- Cheating on exams
- Proctors in the testing centers will monitor you during your exam. Monitoring includes
watching from a seated position in the room, walking through the room, and viewing
a computer screen showing a video feed from the cameras that are in use inside the
testing room.
If you are caught cheating on an exam, the proctor will report the incident to the DL Testing Pro-staff member on duty and will write an incident report which will be given to the faculty member for whose class you were taking the exam. The faculty member will then take appropriate action which may include a failing grade "F" on the exam or a failing grade "F" in the course. Additional actions which may be taken involve probation, suspension or expulsion from the university as deemed by the Offices of Student Life and Judicial Affairs.
