TESTING CENTER MISSION STATEMENT:

The Testing Center seeks to support the educational mission of Western Oklahoma State College by aiding students, faculty, and staff. The Testing Center seeks to provide high quality testing services for students, graduates, and professionals from the surrounding community. We strive to administer tests in a technologically advanced environment to promote satisfaction and achievement in reaching academic and professional goals. Western’s Testing Center subscribes to the NCTA Professional Standards and Guidelines for Post-Secondary Test Centers.

The Testing and Assessment Center offers a wide variety of services to Western students and the community. These services include Accuplacer placement testing, ACT National and ACT Residual testing, a variety of extra institutional testing (including CLEP and DSST), GED, some FAA exams, proctored exams for Western students, and proctored exams for students enrolled in courses from other institutions. Accuplacer placement exams and proctored Western exams are adminisitered on a walk-in basis. CLEP, DSST, ACT Residual, GED, FAA, and proctored exams from other institutions require an appointment. Students may request these services by contacting the Testing Center office at (580) 477-7921 or by email at testing.center@wosc.edu to schedule an appointment.

Photo identification is MANDATORY for ALL testers.

Western Oklahoma State College migrated to ACCUPLACER placement testing December 2016. If you have COMPASS placement scores and wish to enroll, those COMPASS scores will only be valid through May 2017. After that date, you will need to take ACCUPLACER placement exams before enrolling in English, Math, or Science courses.
