Jacksonville, Ala. – Jacksonville State University’s Testing Services, located within the Student Success Center, has been awarded Test Center Certification by the National College Testing Association (NCTA), recognizing its commitment to providing high-quality, secure testing environments.
The certification, which is valid for five years, is based on NCTA’s rigorous Professional Standards and Guidelines. These standards were developed to guide post-secondary institutions in the delivery of quality testing programs and uphold the highest levels of service and security.
“Earning this certification is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of Coordinator Geraldine Mendiola and the entire Testing Services and Disability Resources team,” said Dr. Sean Creech, Assistant Vice Provost for Learning Support Resources. “Their hard work and commitment to upholding the highest standards of test administration are commendable, and we are proud of all they have achieved.”
Jacksonville State joins a growing number of test centers in the United States and abroad that have successfully completed the NCTA’s intensive certification process. To earn this recognition, a test center must demonstrate continued compliance with national standards in areas such as test integrity, administration, facility quality, and staff training.
The National College Testing Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of professionalism and high-quality service in the administration of testing programs, offers certification to college and university test centers that demonstrate exemplary practices.
