TESTING CENTER UPDATE - AUGUST 2020

The Temple College testing locations are now open Monday-Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Testing takes place on an appointment basis, and is limited to 10 students in the testing center at a time. Walk-ins will be accommodated if space allows. TSIA tests can be administered remotely through Zoom. Students who want to take this test must have a desktop or laptop computer, a strong internet connection and a private location to take the test undisturbed. Chromebooks and tablets are not compatible with remote proctoring. Please email testingcenter@templejc.edu to arrange a time to take your exam, in person or remotely. The following new workflows are in place for students who want to take tests:

• Please call the Cashier’s Office to pay before arriving to test. Their phone numbers are 254-298-8610 or 254-298-8611.
• Staff and students are required to wear a mask upon entry to the building, as well as in the testing lab.
• Please leave all personal items in your vehicle, with the exception of your keys and photo ID, as locker usage has been temporarily suspended.

Testing Center Payment

Exams that require payment must be paid in advance of testing services. We recommend paying the day of testing. Payment is recommended to be made at the Cashier’s Office at both locations. In the event a payment is taken in the Testing Center, we can only accept cash (exact change preferred), check or money order. Credit/debit card payments must be made at the Cashier’s Office, or by calling 254-298-8610/8611 for the Temple campus, or 512-759-5920 for EWCHEC-Hutto. Please let the cashier know what test you are paying for and to email the testing center a receipt. If you are testing during extended-hours, credit/debit card payments cannot be processed. Please bring an alternative form of payment.
