Welcome From The office of testing
The Office of Testing is responsible for the many standardized tests given in specific areas to entering students for the purposes of admission and placement, to undergraduate students for proficiency, to education majors for certification, to graduate students for admission to specialized programs, and professional tests to the traditional student as well as to the nontraditional students.
The Office of Testing is dedicated to administering professional testing services to Valdosta State University and surrounding communites while upholding test security standards.
The mission of the Office of Testing is to promote and maintain an atmosphere conducive to providing a constructive testing environment when administering standardized tests. Further, our mission is to consistently strive to assist and provide accommodations needed for group and individual settings when administering placement, proficiency, undergraduate and graduate admissions, degree credit by examination, and certification tests.
The yearly testing calendar is coordinated with Valdosta State University's school calendar and with the University System of Georgia, State, and National testing dates. It is recommended that prospective registrants check with the Colleges or Universities of their choice to find out the required test needed for admission and the deadline for scores submission.
As a designated national test center, the Office of Testing administers testing programs for the Educational Testing Service, The Psychological Corporation, the Law School Admissions Service, the American College Testing Program, Prometric, Pearson Vue the Psychological Services Bureau, the State of Georgia, and the University System of Georgia as well as for other educational and governmental agencies. Valdosta State University has been a member of the College Board since 1961. The Office of Testing is also a member of the Consortium of College Testing Centers (CCTC): A pioneering Effort to Support Distance Learning with Remote Test Administrations.
