Due to COVID-19 and the current campus closure, some testing services are currently suspended. GED, HiSET, and Constitution exams will resume at a future date, as well as geometry proficiency exams and proctoring services for community members enrolled in online programs.

Revised Placement Testing Process During Campus Closure
While placement exams can be used to determine initial English and math course placements, additional measures exist that can bypass the placement exam for some students. Contact your academic advisor to determine your eligibility for using alternative placement measures. However, if a placement exam is still necessary, the testing staff can provide remote placement testing using Zoom video conferencing.
Please note that a student must have a desktop or laptop computer to test remotely as Chromebooks, phones and tablets are not acceptable testing devices. Students must also have internet access, a webcam, audio capabilities through an internal or external microphone and pass a computer system scan. Contact your academic advisor to determine if remote testing is necessary and to see if you have the necessary minimum technology required. Your advisor can assist you in scheduling the remote placement exam.
Testing Schedule
All services provided by the Testing Center require an appointment in order to pre-screen students for testing eligibility. The typical testing schedule is as follows:
Monday 9 a.m. & 1 p.m.
Tuesday 9 a.m. & 1 p.m.
Wednesday 9 a.m. & 1 p.m.
Thursday 9 a.m. & 1 p.m.
While we try to maintain this standard testing schedule year-round, please be aware that adjustments may occur due to staffing and room availability.
Additional testing sessions may be added during peak testing periods to accommodate the increased volume of students.
