Did you know we have a designated space that you can test if needed?  The testing lab has up to date software such as Read & Write & Gold, JAWS, ZoomText, CCTV just to name a few.  If you have testing requirements and will wish to use this space, call 703.933.8329 or email us at egilliam@nvcc.edu  and make a reservation. 

To ensure that the appropriate assistance is provided, it is suggested you visit the Disabilities Service website to review the checklist and complete the intake packet. Once this process is completed and you’ve met with a counselor provide the testing center with a copy of your  Memorandum of Accommodations.
