Reserve an Exam Room

If you plan to take a remotely proctored graduate admissions exam (such as the LSAT, GRE, or GMAT), you can request a room on the Ithaca campus for use as testing space.  If you would like to do so, please carefully review the instructions on this page.

Depending on departmental needs, campus events, and other priorities, suitable space may not always be available, particularly during regular business hours (8am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday).  Where possible, you are strongly encouraged to schedule your exam for a weekday evening or during the weekend.

Plan to submit your request as soon as possible and no later than one week before your scheduled exam. Last minute requests may not be approved in time.

The request form below allows you to indicate a preference for any specific room(s) that you would like to reserve. Our team will make every effort to secure your preferred space, but we cannot guarantee it will be available during your exam time.

Each exam provider establishes their own guidelines for testing space, so make sure to review those requirements before booking a room.  In general, rooms suitable for remote testing meet the following characteristics:

  • Private – rooms should be away from busy common areas and closed to through-traffic 
  • Enclosed – rooms should not have any glass walls or doors 
  • Small – conference and meeting rooms are more likely than larger classrooms to have large tables suitable for testing

Submit your request using this form. A member of the University Career Development team will then send a reservation request on your behalf to the university’s scheduling teams. Though in some cases you may reserve a room yourself through 25Live, submitting it through University Career Development will make ensure the request is prioritized and may allow you to make a reservation for spaces and/or during times that are otherwise unavailable to individual students.

If you need assistance, please contact Alex Jablonski, Assistant Director for Pre-Law and Pre-Graduate Advising, at aj486@cornell.edu.
