ACADEMIC TESTING AND TUTORING CENTER
The Academic Testing & Tutoring Center (AT&TC) provides make-up testing services
and classroom proctoring for WNCC faculty, as well as proctoring tests for other
educational institutions. Tutorial services, certified through the College Reading and
Learning Association (CRLA), are provided in the AT&TC for a variety of subjects.
The AT&TC also offers College Level Examination Program (CLEP) testing to allow
students to receive college credit by demonstrating subject mastery through an exam.
The AT&TC offers certain independent study courses as an alternative to traditional
college course enrollment by allowing students to enter credit courses at times
other than the beginning of the three college terms. Electives to enhance study in
an Associate Degree program, as well as academic foundation courses to prepare
students for college-level classes, are available.
