The Simplot Micron Advising and Success Hub will be the new home of the Academic Testing Center at Boise State University. 

In the past, students have had to guess whether they were expected at the Online Testing Center or the University Testing Services to complete their exams. The announcement from the Center for Teaching and Learning that the two will merge in the new location comes as a pleasant surprise.

Staff have been working to create a smooth transition for both technology and testers, and they have narrowed down the time frame in which the switch will occur to two weeks. The move will take place from May 9-20, leaving its Blackboard/Computer Testing Services temporarily unavailable. However, this is set to cause minimal impact, as it will occur after the spring semester.
