Important Information for All Test-takers

  • Photo ID is mandatory. Individuals will not be permitted to write without presenting valid photo identification. In most cases, we will accept RRC Polytech student ID or government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.). External exam writers should check with their institution/organization for specific instructions regarding accepted identification prior to arriving for their exam.  
  • Personal belongings are not permitted in the testing room. At EDC, lockers will be provided for writers to leave their belongings for the duration of their test. At NDC, plastic storage totes will be provided for writers to leave their belongings for the duration of their test. This includes but is not limited to books, bags, purses, wallets, coats, large hoodies, cell phones, watches, hats, and any devices capable of storing text or data.
  • Headgear (hats, hoods, toques, etc.) is not permitted to be worn unless it serves a religious purpose. 
  • All mobile devices must be turned off, not set to vibrate, and must be left in lockers for the duration of the test, unless required for authentication purposes when writing an online exam in Learn. 
  • No food or drink are permitted in the testing room, except bottled water and food that is part of an approved accommodation. 
  • Water bottles must be transparent. Single-use coffee cups (e.g. Tim Horton’s, Starbucks, etc.) are not permitted in the testing room. Once the exam has started, writers are not permitted to leave the Testing and Assessment Centre to refill their water bottles – please plan accordingly.
