NOVA | Annandale| LRS | Testing Center
   
 

The Annandale Campus Testing Center stays open for all posted hours and we make every attempt to have the test you need, when you need it. However, sometimes emergencies occur. Occasionally your test is delayed in reaching us. Rarely, power outages, server outages, or weather problems can and do cause the Testing Center to be closed without warning when we least expect it. Because we cannot predict the future, we recommend that you do not wait until the last minute to take your tests. Leave yourself enough time to do well and leave us enough time to serve you well.

Students with Accommodations

The Testing Center offers reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. If you think you need assistance, please speak with a counselor in CG 211 before you take your exam. Students with accommodations (SWA) should have a “memorandum of accommodation” on file at the Testing Center. If you require a reader or scribe for an exam, please contact counseling first and then contact the Testing Center to schedule a date and time to take your exam. For students who require the use of special assistive equipment, please make an appointment with the Testing Center. You may contact us at 703.323.3833 or antesting@nvcc.edu.
