Can I reschedule my test date?
Yes. There will be a $25 rescheduling fee. For the Professional Pilot program, there are only three possible Casper test dates; if you miss all of them, there is no opportunity for a make-up exam.
What is covered by the assessment fee?
The Casper fee covers administration of the assessment by live, highly trained reviewers, the ability to log in and complete system requirement checks before your test to avoid technical difficulties, an extensive test-preparation site, and a rapid response turnaround. Students will receive results of their tests within two weeks.
Are there any additional test dates outside of those provided?
No. These are the only opportunities to take the Casper test for Kent State University’s Casper assessment. We encourage you to schedule early and make every effort to keep your session.

Why is Casper being used as a selection tool for the Professional Pilot program?
Casper is a timed, proctored, situational-judgement test that supports the holistic review of applicants beyond their GPA, ACT/SAT, letters of recommendation or college essays, and other traditional admissions criteria.
