General Information

• Who can use the Assessment Center?  The Assessment Center is available to all students (full time and part time) & the public (out-of-district testing). 
•  What types of testing are available at the Assessment Center?  The Assessment Center offers several different types of student testing.  These include Distance Learning, Independent Study, Make-up Exams, Out of District Testing, Web CT Testing, SAM 2003, COMPASS, ESL, and ASSET testing.
• Do I need an appointment to use the Assessment Center?  No appointment is necessary in order to use the Assessment Center facilities.  All testing is on a first come, first serve basis.   Please check with the testing center regarding time limitations on different types of exams.  Students that need to use the ADA testing room will need to make an appointment with the Assessment Center at least 48 hours in advance. 
• When do testing fees apply?  Compass, Asset Testing and Out of District tests all require a fee.  Payable at the Business Office.  ESL and Instructor makeup tests are free of charge.

• In order to protect the integrity of the Assessment Center testing procedures, photo identification is required.  Please do not ask the proctor to issue a test without proper identification.  If you do not have a photo ID, please make prior arrangements with your Instructor for identification.
• Call to make sure your test has arrived before paying the proctoring fee (for out of district exams).  Allow yourself enough time when taking a test.  Instructors issue cut-off dates and times for tests; therefore, an expired test will not be issued.
• Know your instructor’s name, the course number and section of the class you are taking.  It is also necessary to know your log-in and passwords if taking an on-line exam.
• Please remember to bring additional items if required for testing.  i.e.; Blue books, pens, pencils, and paper appropriate for essays or graphs.
