Testing Services
We provide exam administration and related services to future and current students, and community members. We offer both on campus and remote testing options. Appointments are required for all tests.
In addition to placement and course testing, we offer experience for credit testing such as Credit by Exam, Advanced Placement, CLEP and others. You'll also find many certification and licensure testing options, such as WorkKeys, GED and more.
Course Testing
We proctor individual makeup and accommodative tests for Delta College classes, including on-campus, online, and hybrid courses. We continue to offer both in-person and remote proctoring options.
Set up a course test
-
- Contact your instructor to ensure exam materials and instructions have been submitted to the Testing Center.

For remote tests, the day prior to your appointment, you will be contacted by your assigned proctor with the Zoom link and reminders for the test session. You will need a stable internet connection, a webcam and microphone, and a laptop, desktop or Chromebook in order to test remotely.
Student guidelines

All other items must be stored out of reach. Electronic items, including cell phones,
iPods, Apple watches, etc., not including those used for testing, must be turned off

Testing materials
Materials allowed for testing will be listed on the request form from your professor.
Proctors will reference this form throughout your test. If you feel the items listed
are inaccurate, please let your proctor know at the time of testing so they can contact
your instructor for further guidance.
Violation of rules
If you violate the directions established by an instructor or the Testing Center,
the testing proctor will stop the exam immediately. You will be asked to leave the
meeting and an incident report will be sent to your instructor explaining why the
exam was stopped. Any further action is determined by your instructor.
