The Testing Center is not open on weekends and college holidays.

Tests must be started a minimum of 30 minutes before closing time and must be completed by closing time (we throw you out whether you are done or not so leave yourself plenty of time). In order to take a test you will need the following:

1. Your TC Student ID AND a picture ID (usually this will be your driver's license)
2. The name of your instructor.
3. The course ID of the course the test covers.
4. The name of the test, number of the chapter, etc. the test covers.

Cheating policy (from the TC Student Handbook)

Students found guilty of academic dishonesty in the testing center will be dropped with an "F" from the course in which he/she is cheating. If one student is caught taking a test for another, both will be dropped from the course with an "F". This policy will be strictly enforced and there will be no exceptions.


CLEP

CLEP examinations cover material taught in courses that most students take as requirements in the first two years of college. A college usually grants the same amount of credit to students earning satisfactory scores on the CLEP examination as it grants to students successfully completing that course.
Many examinations are designed to correspond to one-semester courses; some, however correspond to full-year or two-year courses. Unless stated otherwise in its description, an examination is intended to cover material in a one-semester course.

Each exam is 90 minutes long, and, except for English Composition with Essay, is made up primarily of multiple-choice questions; however, some exams do have fill-ins.
