NEW – Testing Centers Calendar

By kevering | Published: October 16, 2012

Testing Centers Calendar

Check out the new Testing Centers Calendar we created that’s hosted by Google. The calendar is maintained by each of the individual NOVA Testing Centers and updated by them the 15th of every month. The color scheme was carefully considered so that the content is easy to read. The old format of the calendar was monthly view only, but now you can click on one of the three tabs on the top right and view the calendar by Week, Month or Agenda. Also, the day of the week in which you are viewing the calendar is highlighted in yellow. The content in the boxes was simplified and is presented in a consistent format so hours are listed by campus – click on a campus location and a pop-up box will appear showing extended details — locations, hours, special holiday hours, exam cut off times and more. Directions were added at the top of the page in yellow and you can print the calendar.
