Purdue Testing Services

In observance of Memorial Day, our office will be closed Monday, May 25. Wishing everyone a safe holiday as we honor and remember those who served our country.

Congratulations to the Purdue University Mechanical Engineering seniors who passed the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination and earned these special commencement cords!

Purdue Testing Services administers many of these exams each year, and we are proud to support students as they take this important step toward professional licensure.

20,293 exams.

That’s how many accommodated exams were administered in our testing center during the 2024–2025 academic year.

Each piece of paper in this display is a Testing Information Form (TIF)—a form submitted by instructors with the details and instructions for each of their exams. This is just a small snapshot of the work we do every day. In fact, the materials used here reflect only two weeks of testing, representing 162 unique course exam types and a total of 1,496 individual exams administered.

Behind every number is a student we’ve supported, and we’re proud to provide a space where all students can succeed.
