Clinical Assessment Materials

The UTSC Library maintains a specialized collection of psychological testing and assessment materials available for loan to approved Psychology students. Use the tabbed box below to select your access type: "Students enrolled in Psychological Assessment 1 (CPS1701H)" or "Students seeking to borrow tests for other educational purposes."

Please note: Psychological test materials are stored in a secure Library Storage facility in Highland Hall. Students must follow the steps and procedures outlined below and request tests using the Library Help form. Expect a 24-48 hour turnaround time after submitting the form.

Don't have what you need? Contact your liaison librarian (Sarah Guay) or submit a purchase request through our website and I'll check to see if we can acquire the material for you.

Access and Borrowing Policies

Psychological Assessment I (CPS1701H) is normally offered in the Fall session to students in the first year of the Master’s program. Students enrolled in the course will be given priority to check out test materials. The loan period for each test is three weeks. Students may check out multiple tests simultaneously. Students are not permitted to exchange or loan test materials to other students in the course. Access to test materials is only permitted through the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) Library’s check-out system and students are 100% responsible for all materials checked out under their names. Any materials that are lost, stolen, or misplaced while on loan must be immediately reported to the UTSC Library staff and to the Director of Clinical Training (DCT). Students enrolled in CPS1701H are not required to seek DCT pre-approval to check out the test materials because the authority to use the tests for the course is delegated to the course instructor, who is a Registered Psychologist. 

Requesting a test and borrowing procedure: 

  1. Request the test(s) using the Library Help form
  2. Select “Borrowing and Returning” as the Subject and put in as much information about the test(s) as possible into the question field 
  3. Turnaround will be 24-48 hours and the student will receive an email from the library when the test is ready for pickup
  4. Students are required to present their T-card at check-out
  5. Record forms must be returned to the library whether they have been filled in or not; library staff will ensure that completed record forms undergo secure shredding

Students not enrolled in CPS1701H are permitted to borrow psychological tests exclusively for other educational purposes, such as learning a test for a practicum placement or a research study (e.g., Master’s thesis or dissertation project). However, no tests or record forms may be used to test a client in a clinical setting or a research participant. In these cases, students are required to seek pre-approval from the Director of Clinical Training (DCT) to access the tests. Requests should be submitted via email to the DCT and an educational rationale for the use of the test provided.
