As a veteran, I realize first hand the sacrifices that are made on my behalf and others. I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to serve in the United States Army.  Our veterans deserve our gratitude and support whenever and wherever possible.

We also owe a debt of gratitude to military families, although they are not on the battlefield with their love ones, they also serve and sacrifice.

Don’t wait until Veteran’s Day to thank one.

 Finals for the Fall begin December 10th .  As a reminder we do not proctor faculty make up exams during this period.  An exception to this policy is for students that have a current Memorandum of Accommodations on file. 

The Reading and Writing Labs are also closed during finals as well to accommodate our over flow needs.

You may contact Candice Bowman if you have a specific concern regarding these policies.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

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.

Testing Center NEW HOURS of Operation

Always in our prayers.

The Alexandria Testing Center is constantly trying to discover ways to better serve our students.  In an effort to lessen the time you spend waiting for a computer during high peak times, we are adding 26 additional computers to our lab. These computers will be available on Fridays and Saturdays starting September 6th until further notice.

Please pass the word to your classmates that they need not look any further than room AA 332 to meet their exam needs.
